HP-UX 11.0 - 11i Internationalization Features White Paper

Encoding Characters

Converting Between Encodings

Chapter 2

Table 2-28 illustrates the mapping variances between converter tables when converting between EUC

and different interpretations of Unicode character mappings.

NOTE The JIS X0201 Extended (Unix) mappings are already available on HP-UX, referenced in

this table as eucJP.

• The TOG/JVC has formalized three possible converter mappings for several characters. These mappings

are:

1. JIS X0221 based on strict JIS X0201 standard interpretation

2. JIS X0221 Extended that allows for greater co-existence in current ASCII-based (such as Unix)

environments

3. JIS X0221 based on Microsoft Japanese mappings
