NAME

     mskanji -- Shift-JIS (MS Kanji) encoding for Japanese text

SYNOPSIS

     ENCODING "MSKanji"

DESCRIPTION

     Shift-JIS, also known as MS Kanji or SJIS, is an encoding system for Japanese characters, developed by Microsoft Corporation.  It encodes the
     characters from the JIS X 0201 (ASCII/JIS-Roman) and JIS X 0208 (Japanese) character sets as sequences of either one or two bytes.

     Characters from the ASCII/JIS-Roman character set are encoded as single bytes between 0x00 and 0x7F (ASCII) or 0xA1 and 0xDF (Half-width
     katakana).

     Characters from the JIS X 0208 character set are encoded as two bytes.  The first ranges from 0x81 - 0x9F, 0xE0 - 0xEA, 0xED - 0xEE (not JIS:
     NEC-selected IBM extended characters), 0xF0 - 0xF9 (not JIS: user defined), or 0xFA - 0xFC (not JIS: IBM extended characters).  The second
     byte ranges from 0x40 - 0xFC, excluding 0x7F (delete).

NAME

       PCK, pck - map between PCK and character set

DESCRIPTION

       PCK stands for PC Kanji code. It is also known as Shift-JIS  (MS kanji) code. This manual page shows map between  PCK and character set.

       PCK  allocates  the  first  byte  of  each  kanji  code	which corresponds to JIS X0208-1990 and so on to the code other than code range of
       0x00-0x7f and 0xa1-0xdf. The following is a map table for PCK and character set.

       The differences from character set of Japanese EUC are,

	 o  Character  set  of	Japanese  EUC codeset 3 (JIS X 0212-1990) is not assigned except a part of Vender Defined Character (IBM extension
	    character) (see NOTES).

	 o  Character set which corresponds to Japanese EUC C1 control code is not assigned.

NOTES

       In PCK area below has special meaning.

       |PCK		     area of character set   meaning			   |
