Could you please point me to information on the relationship between JIS X
0208-1990 (as represented by the kJis0 field in Unihan.txt) and Shift-JIS?
The JIS X 0208 and JIS X 0213 include a description (in Japanese, but 
with pictures) of the relationship. They are available on line:  go to 
http://www.jisc.go.jp/; click on the blue button labeled âJISâ in the 
Search section; enter âJIS X 0213â in the third input box; click on the 
attached button; select JIS X 0213 in the resulting list. The first PDF 
is about the changes in :2004, the others are actually :2000. Similarly 
for 0208.

You can also consult Ken Lunde's excellent book:  CJKV Information 
Processing, ISBN 1-56592-224-7 
(<http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/cjkvinfo/index.html>).

If you intend to do almost any work on CJK stuff, you need those two 
sources, and some more.
