NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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
