You Receive an Error Message When You Overwrite or When You Delete a Kandji + Dakuten (Japanese Voiced Sound Mark) String

When you type a "Kanji + dakuon/handakuon" string in a field that uses the Furigana property, and then overwrite the string or delete the string, you may receive the following error message:

After you receive this error message, Microsoft Access may abruptly quit.

This problem may occur if you delete data or you overwrite data that includes the Kanji characters and the Seion characters (an unvoiced consonant) followed by the Dakuten characters or the Handakuten characters. An incorrect handling of the Dakuten characters and the Handakuten characters (Japanese voiced sound mark) by the Furigana property in Microsoft Access causes this problem.
