NAME
       deckanji - A character encoding system (codeset) for Japanese

DESCRIPTION
       The  DEC	 Kanji	codeset consists of the following characters: ASCII or
       JIS X0201 Roman letters Katakana characters specified by JIS X0201  JIS
       X0208 characters User-defined characters (UDC)

       DEC  Kanji  uses	 a  combination of single-byte data and 2-byte data to
       represent these characters.

       JIS X0201 is a single-byte character set and consists of Roman  letters
       and Katakana characters, which are Japanese phonetic symbols. The Roman
       letters defined in the JIS X0201-1976 standard are the  same  as	 ASCII
       letters.	 (For  information  on the ASCII character set, see ascii(5).)
       However, JIS X0201 replaces the ASCII tilde (~) character with a	 hori‐
       zontal  bar  (located  at  the  upper  part  of	a character cell), and
       replaces the backslash (\) with the Japanese currency sign (Yen).

       The JIS XO208 standard specifies 2-byte character values that represent
       a variety of characters, including ideographic symbols.

   DEC Kanji Encoding
       All ASCII characters are represented by single-byte 7-bit values in DEC
       Kanji. That is, the most significant bit (MSB) is always set off in the
       byte  that  represents  an  ASCII  character. The Roman letters and the
       Katakana characters specified by JIS X0201 are also single-byte values,
       in  which  the  most  significant  bit (MSB) is set off and on, respec‐
       tively. Some applications and vendors assume Roman characters  for  the
       lower  7-bit  values,  while  others assume ASCII. However, for Unicode
       conversion on Tru64 UNIX, the Japanese_UCS converters (deckanji, sdeck‐
       anji, SJIS, and eucJP) consider the lower 7-bit values to be ASCII.

       The  code  table for JIS X0208 characters is divided into 94 rows, num‐
       bered from 1 to 94. Each row has 94 columns, also numbered  from	 1  to
       94.  JIS	 X0208	defines	 a total of 6877 characters, which include the
       following: Special symbols, in rows 1 and 2 Numerals and Roman letters,
       in  row	3  Hiragana characters, in row 4 Katakana characters, in row 5
       Greek letters, in row 6 Russian letters, in row 7 Symbols  for  drawing
       graphs,	diagrams, and lines, in row 8 First-level Kanji characters, in
       rows 16 to 47 Second-level Kanji characters, in rows 48 to 84

       To comply with the JIS X0208 standard, each JIS X0208  character	 is  a
       2-byte  value  in  the DEC Kanji codeset. The MSB of both the first and
       second bytes is always set on to distinguish JIS X0208 characters  from
       ASCII/JIS Roman or user-defined characters.

       For each JIS X0208 character, the first byte of the 2-byte value deter‐
       mines the row number and the second determines the column number in the
       JIS  X0208 code table. The following formula shows the code value for a
       JIS X0208 character in relation to its row and column numbers:

       1st byte = A0 + Row number
       2nd byte = A0 + Column number

       For example, if a character is positioned at the first  column  of  the
       36th row, its code value is C4A1, which is calculated as follows:

       1st byte = A0 (hex) + 36 = C4 (hex)
       2nd byte = A0 (hex) + 01 = A1 (hex)

       For  user-defined  character  (UDC)  definitions, DEC Kanji provides an
       area of 2914 positions (from row 1 to row 31). Each UDC is  represented
       by  a 2-byte value, just like a JIS X0208 character value. However, the
       MSB of the second byte of a UDC is set off to distinguish it from a JIS
       X0208 character.	 The code range of the UDC area is A121 to BF7E.

       The  following  formula calculates the code of a UDC in relation to its
       row and column numbers:

       1st byte = A0 + Row number
       2nd byte = 20 + Column number

       For example, if a UDC is positioned at the first	 column	 of  the  16th
       row, its code value is B021, which is calculated as follows:

       1st byte = A0 (hex) + 16 = B0 (hex)
       2nd byte = 20 (hex) + 01 = 21 (hex)

   Codeset Conversion
       The  following codeset converter pairs are available for converting Ja‐
       panese characters between deckanji and  other  encoding	formats.   See
       iconv_intro(5)  for  an	introduction  to  codeset conversion. For more
       information about the other codeset for which deckanji is the input  or
       output, see the reference page specified in the list item.  eucJP_deck‐

       For  printers,  the  operating system provides only Japanese fonts that
       are printer-resident; that is, there are no Japanese fonts that can  be
       dynamically downloaded to the printer. See i18n_printing(5) for general
       information on printing non-English text.
