Everything about JIS encoding
Collection of Japanese standards for digital character encoding
In computing, JIS encoding refers to several Japanese Industrial Standards for encoding the Japanese language. Strictly speaking, the term means either:A set of standard coded character sets for Japanese, notably: JIS X 0201, the Japanese version of ISO 646 (ASCII) containing the base 7-bit ASCII characters and 64 half-width katakana characters. JIS X 0208, the most common kanji character set containing 6,879 characters, including 6,355 kanji and 524 other characters JIS X 0212, a supplement for JIS X 0208 which adds 5,801 kanji, totaling 12,156 kanji JIS X 0213, which extends JIS X 0208 JIS X 0202, a set of encoding mechanisms for sending JIS character data over transmission media that only support 7-bit data.
