Yup, would be good to see how that document is. Whether the characters
are stored as charset 12 or not. Because in WP for mac we do two things,
first try to map the Mac character that is in the first byte of the 0xCO
function, and if we don't succeed, we use the second two bytes to use
the mapping of the WP5 character set/character.
WP5 character set has some charset for japanese, but it is normally used
only for documents that were converterted from windows/dos WP
file-formats.
Now, there is a function 0xC8 which is defined like this:
Double-Byte Script Character
<0xC8> (length = 4)
[character]double-byte Macintosh script character
<0xC8>
I strongly suspect that those characters are encoded like that and we
don't support this at all. Now, if we could have the table of those or
at least parts of such table, it would be ~trivial to extend our
coverage by mapping this to unicode.
I did not find the tables anywhere and since I did not know how much is
this used, I did not dig more.
If you manage to get some more information, we can extend our support to
this function in a ~trivial way.
Cheers
