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 |
|0x8740 - 0x879e JIS X 0208-1990 13 ku Vender Defined Character |
| (special symbols) |
|0xeb40 - 0xecfc Invalid |
|0xed40 - 0xeffc Vender Defined Character |

|0xf040 - 0xf9fc User Defined Character |

jistoeuc(1) User Commands jistoeuc(1)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...]
sjtojis [-8] [-U] [filename...]
sjtoeuc [-U] [filename...]
AVAILABILITY
SUNWjfpu
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.
