eucJP, eucjp- map between Japanese EUC and character set

DESCRIPTION

In SunOS and JFP, Japanese EUC (Extended UNIX code) is used as character code system expressing multi-byte languages including Japanese character in the "ja" locale. This manual page shows map between Japanese EUC and character set.

The following is a map table for Japanese EUC and character set (SS2 stands for 0x8e, and SS3 stands for 0x8f ).

SS3 0xa1a1 – 0xa1fe	JIS X 0212–1990 (1 ku 1 ten – 1 ku 94 ten)
SS3 0xa2a1 – 0xa2fe	JIS X 0212–1990 (2 ku 1 ten – 2 ku 94 ten)
