japanese postal-code symbol in LaTeX

[J_entz]

Hi everybody,

I am using regular LaTeX in Japan now, and I'd like to know how to get
the symbol for the japanese postal/zip code in my document. The symbol
looks somewhat like a T with a bar over it, but just \bar{T} is not
what I mean of course... I hope anybody knows the command.

Thanks,
Jorg

Just enter it directly into your file. Here's an example using a
wadalab font:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{CJK}

\begin{document}
\begin{CJK*}[dnp]{JIS}{min}

\noindent 〒789\\
何々市なんとか区\\
空想町 00-314\\
郵便花子様

\end{CJK*}
\end{document}

ah cool! Thanks! I never thought of it as a kanji, more as a symbol.
Just typing yuubin (ゆうびん) and hitting the spacebar to convert
to kanji worked indeed.
