Just to clarify: The Japanese character set mentioned above is JIS X0201, not JIS X0208. JIS X0201 has 94+96 characters, and it contains slightly modified ASCII (currency sign and some others) as well as katakana (Japanese). (modified ASCII is defined for other countries too, for example UK variant maps L-like "pound" sign for 0x24 (#)) JIS X0208 has 94x94 characters (yes, 94 times 94) and it has bunch of kanji letters. itojun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
