Mixed Hiragana/Katakana multiple choice marks correct answer wrong #28638

Description

@tentoumushii

Summary

In the game section, when multiple choice mixes Hiragana and Katakana, the answer choices can include both scripts. For the question "RuRyuRi", the answer choices were "リュ", "る", "り", "と", and "リ". The user answered "るリュリ" but it was marked wrong even though it matches the intended answer "るリュり" (the difference being trailing 'り' vs 'リ'). The issue is that the answer checker likely does not normalize equivalent Hiragana/Katakana, causing a correct phonetic answer to be rejected.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open the game section and select the multiple choice mode.
  2. Set the question set to mix Hiragana and Katakana.
  3. Encounter a question like "RuRyuRi" with answer choices including both scripts.
  4. Select an answer that is phonetically identical but uses a different kana script (e.g., "るリュリ" instead of "るリュり").
  5. Observe that the answer is marked as incorrect.

In detail, please describe the bug you encountered (alternatively, provide any other additional feedback here)

In the game section using multiple choice, I tried mixing Hiragna and also Katakana, so both of them appeared as possible questions/answers.

When there is two possible answer, you couldn't see which one is "correct" for the provided example.

In my attached screenshot the question was "RuRyuRi" with the possible answer choices were "リュ","る","り","と" and "リ". I answered with "るリュリ" and it registered as wrong answer despite being the same word as the requested answer "るリュり"
