NAME

Encode::JIS2K - JIS X 0212 (aka JIS 2000) Encodings

SYNOPSIS

  use Encode::JIS2K;
  use Encode qw/encode decode/;
  $euc_2k = encode("euc-jisx0213", $utf8);
  $utf8   = decode("euc-jisx0213", $euc_jp);

ABSTRACT

This module implements encodings that covers JIS X 0213 charset (AKA JIS 2000, hence the module name). Encodings supported are as follows.

DESCRIPTION

To find out how to use this module in detail, see Encode.

what is JIS X 0213 anyway?

Simply put, JIS X 0213 is a rework and reorganization of JIS X 0208 and JIS X 0212. They consist of two 94x94 planes which roughly corrensponds as follows;

  JIS X 0213 Plane 1 = JIS X 0208 + extension
  JIS X 0213 Plane 2 = JIS X 0212 reorganized + extension

And here is the character repertoire there of at a glance.

          # of codepoints     Kuten Ku (rows) used
  --------------------------------------------------------
  JIS X 0208         6,879    1..8,16..83
  JIS X 0213-1       8,762    1..94 (all!)
  JIS X 0212         6,067    2,6..7,9..11,16..77
  JIS X 0213-2       2,436    1,3..5,8,12..15,78..94
  -------------------------------------------------------
  (JIS X0213 Total) 11,197

JIS X 0213 was designed to extend JIS X 0208 and JIS X 0212 without being imcompatible to (classic) EUC-JP and Shift_JIS. The following characteristics are as a result thereof.

  • JIS X plane 1 is (almost) a superset of JIS X 0208. However, with Unicode 3.2.0 the mappings differ in 3 codepoints.

      Kuten   JIS X 0208 -> Unicode         JIS X 0213 -> Unicode
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  1-1-17  <UFFE3> # FULLWIDTH MACRON    <U203E> # OVERLINE
  1-1-29  <U2014> # EM DASH             <U2015> # HORIZONTAL BAR
  1-1-79  <UFFE5> # FULLWIDTH YEN SIGN  <U00A5> # YEN SIGN

  • By the same token, JIS X 0213 plane 2 contains JIS Dai-4 Suijun Kanji (JIS Kanji Repertoire Level 4). This allows EUC-JP's G3 to contain both JIS X 0212 and JIS 0213 plane 2.

    However, JIS X 0212:1990 already contains many of Dai-4 Suijun Kanji so EUC's G3 is subject to containing duplicate mappings.

  • Because of Halfwidth Katakana, Shift_JIS mapping has been tricky and it is even trickier. Here is a regex that matches Shift_JISX0213 sequence (note: you have to "use bytes" to make it work!)

      $re_valid_shifjisx0213 =
    qr/^(?:
         [\x00-\x7f] |                            # ASCII or
         [\xa1-\xdf] |                            # JIS X 0201 KANA or
         [\x81-\x9f\xe0-\xfc][\x40-\x7e\x80-\xfc] # JIS X 0213
         )+$/xo;

Note on EUC-JISX0213 (vs. EUC-JP)

As of Encode-1.64, 'euc-jp' does support euc-jisx0213 for decoding. However, 'euc-jp' in Encode and 'euc-jisx0213' differ as follows;

                    euc-jp                   euc-jisx0213
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  Decodes....       (0201-K|0208|0212|0213)  ditto
  Round-Trip  (|0)  (020-K|0208|0212)        JIS X (0201-K|0213)
  Decode Only (|3)  those only found in 0213
                                        those only found in 0212
