Unless the new emperor messes things up and chooses a single-character name that's already in Unicode. (That'll teach these computer whippersnappers who's boss!...) I don't envy all the people having to update Japanese calendar or text-processing software. And things will be even more hectic if the current or new emperor dies unexpectedly. Luckily for tzdb, though, Japan does not change its *clocks* when it gets a new emperor, so we will be off the hook on this one.
