You definitely do not want to set a post to Japanese just because they used a Japanese character. People's posts would not be seen by many people and they wouldn't know it was all because they were explaining a Japanese character to someone in English.
Not just because they use a Japanese character, but if the whole comment is just foreign characters there's no good reason it couldn't detect that.
