The first is that Shift_JIS itself is not an extension to ASCII. Shift_JIS uses JIS X 0201 Roman (i.e. Japanese variant of ISO 646) for 0x21-0x7e part instead of ASCII. YEN-SIGN-for- escape-character problem occurs on this level. The second level is Microsoft-specific problem. CP932 (should be an extension to Shift_JIS with several tens or hundreds of additional Kanji and symbols) maps 0x5c (YEN SIGN) to U+005C and Japanese version of Windows has YEN SIGN glyph at U+005C. Suggestions to Microsoft would be on the second level. However, to think about solutions on the second level, we have to solve the first level problem at first. --- 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/
