title: How to split Japanese Characters in a Sentence into an Array using Client Side Javascript?
body: <p>I'd like to put all of the individual Japanese characters into an array. For example entering 攻壳机动队  into a textarea (html) and creating an array with each character ['攻','壳','机','动','队'] in javascript. Duplicates should be kept.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to split by punctuation and spaces but, with Japanese, the sentences don't have spaces so I'm not sure how  I can take each individual character and put them into an array. (I know some words consist of multiple characters but I am currently interested looking at how to separate each character to put in an array, multi-character words would be the next step).</p>
