I'm working on Android and \d matches ０(U+FF10), too.

This doesn't cover all kanjis. Simple example: 𧓈

To be fair those kanjis are extremely rare and are not used (they would not show up in dictionnaires or rikaichan like extensions) and 99.99% Japanese would not know about them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_Unified_Ideographs_Extension_B

Now you can match them with: [𠀀-𪛟]
and to match everything you would simply do: [𠀀-𪛟]|[一-龯]

@cb372, your list comes close to covering all the kana, but a few characters are still missing. You got 「ゞ」 but missed 「ゝ」 and 「ゟ」, and a few others. I believe this would cover all Hiragana and Katakana separately:

Hiragana = [ぁ-ゖ゛-ゟー]
Katakana = [゠-ヿ]

Combined Hiragana & Katakana would be:

Hiragana+Katakana = [ぁ-ゖ゛-ゟ゠-ヿ]

I used the above hiragana+katakana regex to validate the kana portions of the downloadable version of JMDICT and can confirm that apart from a few errors in the JMDICT data, the kana validation works.

There is a much easier way to do this:

/\p{Script=Han}|\p{Script=Katakana}|\p{Script=Hiragana}/u

see https://www.regular-expressions.info/unicode.html #Unicode Scripts

not enough it miss some Katakana range

so far i'm using

    // CJK Symbols and Punctuation - 3000-303F
    // Hiragana - 3040-309F
    // Katakana - 30A0-30FF
    // CJK Unified Ideographs - 4E00-9FFF
    // CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A - 3400-4DBF
    // Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms - FF00-FFEF
    // CJK Radicals Supplement - 2E80-2EFF
    // Kangxi Radicals - 2F00-2FDF
    // CJK Compatibility Ideographs - F900-FAFF

I use it to tokenize some Japanese games for translation. xD good enough.. If a character was missed I just go to
