Change notes below: Truth be told I had no idea that people were actually using this and had only chanced upon the comments in the reviews this morning while I was trying to publish one of a couple of terrible themes that I use while I'm at work.

The comments were all absolutely valid and I felt pretty bad that I hadn't addressed them sooner so I got working as soon as I got home. Please feel free to let me know what you think!

Added a method to restrict the character set to only use hiragana or katakana
Made exactly-matched characters appear first in the selection
Refactored the code to be only slightly better than it was when I initially made this
