Kanji character.
knj.sp

kout
esc_sequence
Sets the JIS Kanji “shift out” escape
sequence for the JIS terminal.
All ASCII characters are represented by single-byte, 7-bit values in DEC
Kanji. That is, the most significant bit (MSB) is always set to Off in the
byte that represents an ASCII character. For Unicode conversion on Tru64
UNIX, the Japanese_UCS converters (
deckanji, sdeckanji, SJIS, and
eucJP) consider the lower 7-bit values to be ASCII.
2.3.4 Thai Terminal Support
Thai terminals are supported by the ttty terminal driver, which uses the
BSD protocol. When using a Thai terminal, you must set the terminal line
discipline to tdec, for example:
% stty tdec
Table 2–6 describes additional settings that the stty command supports for
Thai terminals.
