No compatibility problems are anticipated. However, if compatibility concerns arise with
regard to persistent data stored either in Unicode (UCS2) or UTF-8 on an HP-UX
system, it is possible to generate a simple conversion script to search for each occurrence
of an incorrect value in either UCS2 or UTF-8 and convert it to the correct value, based
on the following mappings:
Correction for Japanese
A patch corrects four incorrect Japanese character mappings that occur between
Shift-JIS/EUC and Unicode (UCS2)/UTF-8.
