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.

	 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.
