Hello, all. JIS X 0213 is revised at Feb 20, 2004 (as Amendment 1).
Short summary: * Notorious parenthesized UCS code points (Unexisting UCS code points were given in parentheses) are gone. * 25 JIS characters are mapped to a sequence of two UCS characters. These mappings are identical to ones I had been reported here: cf. http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl-unicode/2002-04/msg00024.html * Mapping of JIS 2-93-27 (plane-row-cell) is fixed to U+9B1C, in concordance with Unicode 3.2.0. In JIS X 0213:2000, it was mapped to U+9B1D. * Representative gryphs for 168 Kanji are revised (their mappings to UCS are not changed). * 10 kanji are added to level 3. (total: 11233 graphic characters) All new kanji are one of variants for a level 1 or 2 kanji. These variant pairs have not been unified in UCS. p-r-c SJIS UCS / its variant (level 1 or 2) 1-14-1 0x879F U+4FF1 / 1-22-70, U+5036 1-15-94 0x889E U+525D / 1-39-77, U+5265 1-47-52 0x9873 U+20B9F / 1-28-24, U+53F1 1-47-94 0x989E U+541E / 1-38-61, U+5451 1-84-7 0xEAA5 U+5653 / 1-17-19, U+5618 1-94-90 0xEFF8 U+59F8 / 1-53-11, U+598D 1-94-91 0xEFF9 U+5C5B / 1-54-2, U+5C4F 1-94-92 0xEFFA U+5E77 / 1-54-85, U+5E76 1-94-93 0xEFFB U+7626 / 1-33-73, U+75E9 1-94-94 0xEFFC U+7E6B / 1-23-50, U+7E4B * Encoding names are revised. (oops, these names are suffixed with "2003", but the revision is published in 2004! Too late!).

I don't know when it will be registered so). New final byte : 5/1 (ascii 'Q') Old final byte : 4/15 (ascii 'O') Final byte for Plane 2 is left as it was [5/0 (ascii 'P')]. SADAHIRO Tomoyuki
