Hi, I have spent some time reading up on the JIS X 0213 character set (CCS) and how the encodings have been changed to accommodate it. It appears Unicode is not yet completely able to represent all the JIS characters, for some more than one Unicode character is required. And new versions of SJIS and EUC encoding schemes seem to be available.
Listing and description of Japanese code sets and encoding schemes: http://www25.big.jp/~jam/encoding/ SJIS link showing updates for JIS X 0213: http://www25.big.jp/~jam/encoding/sjis.html UJIS/EUC link showing updates for JIS X 0213: http://www25.big.jp/~jam/encoding/ujis.html What I found interesting is that in EUC the JIS X 0201 katakana are supported! Although no standard was ever laid down that these should be half-width, de facto they are. Thus I am wondering why it is that I often hear that EUC-JP does not encode these characters? I'd be happy to make a virtual font for these if needed to support it under CJK.
