Looks good. Is there anything to check into on other platforms or is
this just a Linux only concern.
Java runtime for Windows already includes SJIS in java.base so there
should be no issue there. I don't see any convincing reason for
macOS/Solaris to have SJIS in java.base, as Solaris has PCK which is
SJIS equivalent, and macOS has been using UTF-8 as the default at least
since MacOSX was released.
