title: Regex detecting all Japanese characters in a string and wrapping the substrings in tags
body: <p>Trying to figure out how to do a regular expression (or any method for that matter) that will best do the following:</p>
  
  <p>Search a string for Japanese characters (hiragana, katakana, and kanji).</p>
  
  <p>Wrap an uninterrupted substring of Japanese characters with a tag. For example もち and 名前はBenさん would yield the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;span lang="ja"&gt;もち&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span lang="ja"&gt;名前は&lt;/span&gt;Ben&lt;span lang="ja"&gt;さん&lt;/span&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does this globally within the string.</p>
