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.

    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))
0x306f, HIRAGANA LETTER HA
0x3044, HIRAGANA LETTER I
0x3001, IDEOGRAPHIC COMMA
0x3000, IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE
0x30b3, KATAKANA LETTER KO

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

      I didn’t copy and save Duolingo’s correct answer, but here’s what I would have typed via fcitx5 put through your python:

      0x306f, HIRAGANA LETTER HA
0x3044, HIRAGANA LETTER I
0x3001, IDEOGRAPHIC COMMA
0x30b3, KATAKANA LETTER KO
0x30f3, KATAKANA LETTER N
0x30d3, KATAKANA LETTER BI
0x30cb, KATAKANA LETTER NI
0x3067, HIRAGANA LETTER DE
0x3059, HIRAGANA LETTER SU
0x3002, IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP

      from

      #!/usr/bin/env python3
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))

        Your input via Fcitx5 is correct without any doubt, so I believe it’s a duolingo’s fault.
