Possibly the easiest and fastest way to get a quick list of the characters
that should not end or begin a line is to look at the Japanese rules in MS
Word. In the preferences, there are some settings related to line breaking,
and a list of the characters that should not begin or end lines. This should
be set to "strict" to get the most complete lists.
