 Well, that's a debatable point and we have to ask Japanese about
this issue. I suspect Japanese prefer to use US-ASCII instead of
JIS X 0201 (Japanese version of ISO 646) at least under Unix.

  Thank you. I forgot to search for it in single byte character set.
In that case, EUC-JP announcement should be

    EUC-JP   : "\033(B\033$)B\033$*I\033$+D\033\040|"
            G0: US-ASCII, G1: JIS X 0208 G2: half-width katakana
            G3: JIS X 0212
     or

    EUC-JP   : "\033(J\033$)B\033$*I\033$+D\033\040|"
            G0: JIS-ROMAN, G1: JIS X 0208 G2: half-width katakana
            G3: JIS X 0212
