PCK, pck- map between PCK and character set

DESCRIPTION

PCK stands for PC Kanji code. It is also known as Shift–JIS (MS kanji) code. This manual page shows map between PCK and character set.

PCK allocates the first byte of each kanji code which corresponds to JIS X0208–1990 and so on to the code other than code range of 0x00–0x7f and 0xa1–0xdf. The following is a map table for PCK and character set.

• Character set of Japanese EUC codeset 3 (JIS X 0212–1990) is not assigned except a part of Vender Defined Character (IBM extension character) (see NOTES).

• Character set which corresponds to Japanese EUC C1 control code is not assigned.
