NAME

Encode::JP::Mobile - Shift_JIS variants of Japanese Mobile phones

SYNOPSIS

use Encode::JP::Mobile;

my $char   = "\x82\xb1\xf9\x5d\xf8\xa0\x82\xb1";
my $string = decode("x-sjis-imode", $char);

DESCRIPTION

Encode::JP::Mobile is an Encode module to support Shift_JIS variants used in Japaese mobile phone browsers.

This module is EXPERIMENTAL. That means API and implementations will sometimge be backward incompatible.

ENCODINGS

This module currently supports the following encodings.

x-sjis-imode

for DoCoMo pictograms. x-sjis-docomo is alias.

x-sjis-softbank

for Softbank pictograms. Since it uses escape sequences, decoding algorithm is not based on an ucm file. x-sjis-vodafone is alias.

x-sjis-kddi

for KDDI/AU pictograms based on their specification. x-sjis-ezweb is alias.

x-sjis-kddi-auto

for KDDI/AU pictograms based on handset's SJIS code and UTF-8 translations. x-sjis-ezweb-auto is alias.

x-sjis-airedge

for AirEDGE pictograms. x-sjis-airh is alias.

BACKWARD COMPATIBLITY

As of 0.07, this module now uses x-sjis-* as its encoding names. It still supports the old shift_jis-* aliases though. I'm planning to deprecate them sometime in the future release.

NOTES

• ucm files are based on cp932.ucm, not shiftjis.ucm, since it looks more appropriate for possible use cases. I'm open for any suggesitions on this matter.

• Pictogram characters are defined to be round-trip safe. However, they use Unicode Private Area for such characters, that means you'll have interoperability issues, which this module doesn't try yet to solve completely.

• As of version 0.04, this module tries to do auto-conversion of KDDI/AU and NTT-DoCoMo pictogram characters. Supporting Softbank characters are still left TODO.

TODO

• Support KDDI encodings for 7bit E-mail (x-iso-2022-jp-kddi).

• Implement all merged x-sjis-mobile-jp encoding.
