Oh, I see.  Then it must be single byte.

No, no.  That's not what I meant.  I meant single byte Katakana are
difficult to read compared to double byte ones.  For example, 'dakuten'
becomes additional byte so they appear as if they are two characters.

I actually lied.  I realized Windows still supports single byte Katakana
by F8 conversion, but Microsoft GUI Guideline does prohibit the use of
single byte Katakana.
