Japanese fonts look different in some UI elements

On Bedrock Edition, the Japanese font is inconsistent across different UI elements. While the item tooltips in the inventory still use the "Mojangles" font, other UI elements have changed to "Noto Sans JP". Furthermore, this Noto Sans JP font becomes corrupted (displays as mojibake) on some external servers.

To make matters worse, iOS and Android versions still use Mojangles across the board. Many players feel that the Noto Sans JP font ruins the game's unique atmosphere. It seems like a logical solution to simply unify the font with Java Edition, so it is unclear why this has not been done yet.

I think it would be best to use the same font as the Java Edition.
