Though jisx0213code.txt insists that it is built from official JIS X 0213 standard, it insists that 1-1-29 is changed from U+2015 to U+2014 because of JIS X 0221 standard. The JISX0213 InfoCenter web page insists that it should be a bug of JIS X 0213 standard. Also, since JIS X 0213 standard was released in 2000, the official mapping table should have unmapped characters. According to README.txt file in the IBM1394 archive, it should be related to CP932. Thus, I don't think it is a good source as an official JIS X 0213 mapping table. I think you can use either of them (or a combination of them). However, it is with a risk. I imagine a new version of JIS X 0213 will be available in afew years and it will have a complete official mapping table. In this case, mapping table of glibc and libiconv will have to be changed. You can wait for the official mapping table or you can implement a tentative table from jisx0213code.txt and IBM1394. Either will be OK. > I'll make use of these 59 compatibility ideographs in the converter. > That's the whole reason why they were introduced in Unicode 3.2. Right. The problem is, there are no official mapping tables which use them yet. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
