sdeckanji - A character encoding system (codeset) for
Japanese
The Super DEC Kanji codeset extends the DEC Kanji codeset
to support the CS2 (JIS Katakana) and CS3 (JIS X0212)
character sets that are also included in the Japanese EUC
codeset. Super DEC Kanji is therefore a superset of both
DEC Kanji and Japanese EUC and can handle data encoded in
either DEC Kanji or Japanese EUC. The codeset was implemented
to ease the transition from DEC Kanji, which is
proprietary encoding, to Japanese EUC, which is encoding
specified by an industry standard.
In addition to supporting standard Japanese character
sets, Super DEC Kanji provides three areas for defining
User-Defined Characters (UDC). The UDC areas are as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Area Usage Row Range Number of Char- Code Range
acters
-----------------------------------------------------------
JIS X0208 85-94 940 F5A1-FEFE
JIS X0212 78-94 1598 SS3 [EEA1-FEFE]
UDC 1-94 8836 A121-FE7E
-----------------------------------------------------------
The representation of ASCII/JIS Roman, JIS X0208 and UserDefined
Characters (UDC) in Super DEC Kanji is the same as
that in DEC Kanji. The representation of CS2 and CS3 in
Super DEC Kanji is the same as that in Japanese EUC.
Codeset Conversion [Toc] [Back]
The following codeset converter pairs are available for
converting Japanese characters between sdeckanji and other
encoding formats. Refer to iconv_intro(5) for an introduction
to codeset conversion. For more information about
the other codeset for which sdeckanji is the input or output,
see the reference page specified in the list item.
deckanji_sdeckanji, sdeckanji_deckanji
Converting from and to the DEC Kanji codeset: deckanji(5). eucJP_sdeckanji, sdeckanji_eucJP
Converting from and to Japanese Extended UNIX Code:
eucJP(5). ISO-2022-JP_sdeckanji, sdeckanji_ISO-2022JP
Converting from and to the ISO 2022-JP codeset:
iso2022jp(5). ISO-2022-JPext_sdeckanji, sdeckanji_ISO-2022JPext
Converting from and to the ISO 2022-JP Extended
codeset: iso2022jp(5). JIS7_sdeckanji or
jiskanji7_sdeckanji, sdeckanji_JIS7 or sdeckanji_jiskanji7
Converting from and to 7-bit JIS Kanji code:
jiskanji(5). SJIS_sdeckanji, sdeckanji_SJIS
Converting from and to the Shift JIS codeset:
SJIS(5).
Shift JIS encoding is identical to encoding used in
the Microsoft Japanese code page for PC systems.
Therefore, you can use these converters to convert
Japanese characters between Super DEC Kanji and PC
code-page format. For information on how the operating
system supports PC code pages, see
code_page(5). UTF-16_sdeckanji, sdeckanji_UTF-16
Converting from and to UTF-16 format: Unicode(5).
UCS-4_sdeckanji, sdeckanji_UCS-4
Converting from and to UCS-4 format: Unicode(5).
UTF-8_sdeckanji, sdeckanji_UTF-8
Converting from and to UTF--8 format: Unicode(5).
Font Support for Super DEC Kanji [Toc] [Back]
For display devices, the operating system supports sdeckanji
code by converting it to deckanji and using fonts
available for deckanji.
Refer to i18n_printing(5) and Japanese(5) for information
about supporting print jobs that contain Japanese characters.
