As far as a know, any Japanese to that effect would require double-byte
characters, but I will check with the guys on [haiku-i18n-jp] to make
sure.
I have been thinking, though, why do the unnamed partitions have to be
labeled at all?
If a partition does not have a name, the logical way of faithfully
exposing that to the user is by showing no label. Unless I am missing
something, the only time this could be problematic is when the user
attempts to add such an unnamed/unlabeled partition to the boot menu;
then (and only then) the program can prompt the user to give a name to
the partition, as needed.
Cheers,
Jorge / aka Koki
