Originating from Japan, PuwiWiki offers better DBCS support than most wiki software.

It also has a layout optimized for mobile use since many use their phones to browse wikis in Japan.

It supports interwiki links and extensions, similar to MediaWiki.

[4][5] PukiWiki is written such that it uses PHP with a series of text files, hence does not require a database to operate, and does not support databases natively.

However, support could be added through extensions for MySQL, SQLite, Oracle Oci8 and PostgreSQL.
