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

       jistoeuc, jistosj, euctojis, euctosj, sjtojis, sjtoeuc - Code conversion between JIS, PC kanji, and Japanese EUC

SYNOPSIS

       jistoeuc [-8] [-U] [filename...]

       jistosj [-8] [-U] [filename...]

       euctojis [-8] [-U] [filename...]

       euctosj [-U] [filename...]

DESCRIPTION

       For  Japanese language handling, the jistoeuc family provides conversion between different code standards. command [ filename ...] does the
       specified conversion on the contents of the input filenames and writes it to stdout.

       If filename is not given, it reads and converts characters from the standard input.

       jistoeuc        converts JIS to Japanese EUC

       jistosj	       converts JIS to PC kanji

       euctojis        converts Japanese EUC to JIS

       euctosj	       converts Japanese EUC to PC kanji

       sjtojis	       converts PC kanji to JIS

       sjtoeuc	       converts PC kanji to Japanese EUC

OPTIONS

       -8	With this option specified, the commands  jistoeuc, jistosj, sjtojis, and sjtoeuc, can support JIS X  0201  (Half-Size	Katakana).
		This 8-bit JIS code does not use ISO Shift-In and Shift-Out escape sequences.

       -U	The output is not buffered (The default is buffered output).

SEE ALSO

       iconv(1), iconv_ja(5)

NOTES

       This command can handle shift-in escape sequences for the following character sets:

		 JIS X 0208 shift-in escape - E$B, E$(B, E$@

		 JIS X 0212 shift-in escape - E$(D

		 JIS X 0201 Roman shift-in escape - E(J, E(H

		 ASCII shift-in escape - E(B

       euctojis and sjtojis can handle shift-in escape sequences for the following character sets:

		 JIS X 0208 shift-in - E$B

		 JIS X 0212 shift-in - E$(D (except when sjtojis command is specified)

		 JIS X 0201 Roman shift-in - E(J

       jistoeuc  does  not check whether or not each code in the input file is correct. Conversion with PC kanji is not based on TOG Japanese Ven-
       dors Council (TOG/JVC) Recommended Code Set Conversion Specification between Japanese EUC and  Shift-JIS.  The  iconv(1)  utility  provides
       these functions. See iconv(1) and iconv_ja(5) for more information.

BUGS

       If   JIS X  0212  character set is specified as input, jistosj and euctosj can not support the conversion correctly. euctosj, sjtoeuc, jis-
       tosj, and sjtojis can support conversion correctly only if JIS X 0208 1 ku - 84 ku is specified as input.
