VARIABLES

$Jcode::Unicode::PEDANTIC

Now obsolete and abolished. It used to mean..

When set to non-zero, x-to-unicode conversion becomes pedantic. That is, '\' (chr(0x5c)) is converted to zenkaku backslash and '~" (chr(0x7e)) to JIS-x0212 tilde.

By Default, Jcode::Unicode leaves ascii ([0x00-0x7f]) as it is.

But as of perl 5.8. It has been standarlized (in perl community) that we leave ascii as it is so Jcode no longer has to support this option.

BUGS

If any, that is Unicode, Inc. to Blame (Especially JIS0201.TXT).
