Typesense Support for Japanese and Chinese Languages

TLDR Juri inquires about the potential of Typesense not supporting Japanese and Chinese-only applications. Kishore Nallan assures that support for CJK languages is under alpha testing, and already has some available use though not publicly documented yet.

The feature can already be used even though we have not publicly documented it since it is under works. We have to work on some of the feedback on that thread. Specifically, currently the prefix querying does not work because we index the full symbol instead of breaking it into consonants.
