Wabun code

Wabun code is a way to write Japanese using the alphabet. It is sometimes called 'bunbun code'. The letters of the alphabet are used to stand for sounds that are found in the Japanese language. For example, the letter 'mu' stands for the sound 'mu' in Japanese. With Wabun code, you can write Japanese words and sentences in the alphabet, which makes it easier for people who don't understand Japanese to learn it.
