Not a plea for help since I imagine using the word bank allows the text to be accepted. And no, I’m not trying to get it to fail by using 二 instead of ニ. I’m pretty sure the exercise is bugged.

    Although I can’t prove it with just the image, my input method editor (fcitx5) seems to only use full-width characters, even for commas, when I use it to input Japanese text. I had completed several dozen other exercises, many containing commas, which seemed to work fine with Duolingo. Even copy-pasting their “Correct solution” did not work and I believe it contained a full-width comma.

      If you’re familar with Python, can you try this script? (please replace the string a and b with your input and the answer)

      $ python
      >>> import unicodedata
      >>> a = 'はい、 コンビニです。'
      >>> print('\n'.join(f'{hex(ord(c))}, {unicodedata.name(c)}' for c in a))
