AFAIU, coding category is not used for font selection, it is used to narrow
down appropriate coding systems when a buffer has the coding system
"undecided". Since this character is covered by the JISX-0208 standard, it
gets the Japanese tag (along with most ASCII characters and many more that you
might not consider Japanese).
