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.
