NAME
       jiskanji,  jiskanji7,  JIS7 - A character encoding system (codeset) for
       Japanese

DESCRIPTION
       JIS Kanji is a codeset that uses the JIS X0202 symbol extension	method
       for  encoding the JIS X0208 and JIS X0201 character sets. There are two
       types of JIS Kanji encoding: 7-bit JIS Kanji code and 8-bit  JIS	 Kanji
       code.

   7-bit JIS Kanji Code
       In  7-bit  JIS  Kanji  encoding,	 all character values are 7-bit bytes.
       Characters are interpreted according to preceding in and out  sequences
       as follows: Kanji in sequence (ESC $ B)

	      The  code	 values	 following the Kanji in sequence (ESC $ B) are
	      treated as characters in the  JIS	 X0208	Kanji  character  set.
	      Kanji out sequence (ESC ( B)

	      The  code	 values following the Kanji out sequence (ESC ( B) are
	      treated as ASCII characters.  Supplementary  Kanji  in  sequence
	      (ESC $ ( D)

	      The  code	 values	 following the supplementary Kanji in sequence
	      (ESC $ ( D) are treated as characters in the JIS	X0212  supple‐
	      mentary  Kanji  character	 set.  User-Defined Character (UDC) in
	      sequence (ESC $ ( 0)

	      The code values following the UDC in sequence (ESC $  (  0)  are
	      treated  as  characters  in  the	vendor-defined or user-defined
	      character set.  Kana in (SO) and Kana out (SI) sequences

	      The code values following SO(0x0e) and  preceding	 SI(0x0f)  are
	      treated  as  characters in the JIS X0201 Katakana character set.
	      Katakana in sequence (ESC ( I)

	      Code values following the Katakana in sequence  (ESC  (  I)  are
	      treated  as  characters in the JIS X0201 Katakana character set.
	      In this case, the Kanji out sequence is used to switch  back  to
	      ASCII code.

	      The  Katakana  in	 and Kanji out sequences are an alternative to
	      using the Kana in and out sequences (SO/SI).

   8-bit JIS Kanji Code
       In 8-bit JIS Kanji encoding, the JIS X0201 Katakana characters are rep‐
       resented	 as  8-bit  bytes.  Using  this	 form  of encoding, in and out
       sequences have the following effect: Kanji in sequence (ESC $ B)

	      Code values following the	 Kanji	in  sequence  (ESC  $  B)  are
	      treated  as  characters  in  the	JIS X0208 Kanji character set.
	      Supplementary Kanji in sequence (ESC $ ( D)

	      Code values following the supplementary Kanji in sequence (ESC $
	      (	 D)  are  treated as characters in the JIS X0212 supplementary
	      Kanji character set.  User-Defined Character (UDC)  in  sequence
	      (ESC $ ( 0)

	      Code  values  following  the  UDC	 in  sequence  (ESC $ ( 0) are
	      treated as vendor-defined or user-defined characters.  Kanji out
	      sequence	(ESC ( B) Code values following the Kanji out sequence
	      (ESC ( B) are treated as ASCII  characters.   Kana  in  and  out
	      sequences (SI/SO)

	      These sequences are ignored.

   Codeset Conversion
       The  following codeset converter pairs are available for converting Ja‐
       panese characters between jiskanji7 or JIS7 and other encoding formats.
       The  RESTRICTIONS  section  discusses  some conversion limitations that
       apply to these converters.

       Refer to iconv_intro(5) for an introduction to codeset conversion.  For
       more information about the other codeset for which jiskanji7 or JIS7 is
       the input or output, see the reference page specified in the list item.
       deckanji_jiskanji7  or  deckanji_JIS7, jiskanji7_deckanji or JIS7_deck‐
       anji

	      Converting from and  to  the  DEC	 Kanji	codeset:  deckanji(5).
	      eucJP_jiskanji7 or eucJP_JIS7, jiskanji7_eucJP or JIS7_eucJP

	      Converting  from	and  to Japanese Extended UNIX Code: eucJP(5).
	      eucTW_jiskanji7 or eucTW_JIS7, jiskanji7_eucTW or JIS7_eucTW

	      Converting from and to Taiwanese Extended UNIX  Code:  eucTW(5).
	      sdeckanji_jiskanji7  or  sdeckanji_JIS7,	jiskanji7_sdeckanji or
	      JIS7_sdeckanji

	      Converting from and to  the  Super  DEC  Kanji  codeset:	sdeck‐
	      anji(5).	  SJIS_jiskanji7   or	SJIS_JIS7,  jiskanji7_SJIS  or
	      JIS7_SJIS

	      Converting from and to Shift JIS format: SJIS(5).

	      Shift JIS encoding format is identical to encoding in  Microsoft
	      code-pages used on PC systems. Therefore, you can use these con‐
	      verters to convert Japanese characters between JIS Kanji and  PC
	      code-page	 format.  For general information on how the operating
	      system supports PC code pages, see code_page(5).

RESTRICTIONS
       The JIS Kanji codeset is not supported directly by a locale but through
       code  conversion	 (through  the	iconv utility, Japanese terminal (tty)
       code conversion, and so forth).

       In the codeset naming conventions used by the iconv utility, the string
       JIS7 indicates 7-bit JIS Kanji code that follows a Katakana in sequence
       and the string jiskanji7 indicates 7-bit JIS Kanji code entered between
       Kana in and out sequences.  The following sequences are valid for input
       to the iconv utility but are not generated when code  is	 converted  to
       jiskanji7:  Kanji in (ESC $ @) Kanji in (ESC & @ ESC $ B) Kanji in (ESC
       $ ( B) Kanji in (ESC $ ( @) Supplementary Kanji in (ESC $  D)  Kana  in
       (ESC ( J) Kana in (ESC ( H)

       In  the	code  naming  conventions of the Japanese terminal, the string
       jis7 indicates 7-bit JIS Kanji code and the string jis8 indicates 8-bit
       JIS  Kanji code. When the terminal code is set to jis7, the Kana in and
       out sequences (SI/SO) are used for JIS X0201 Katakana character	repre‐
       sentation.
