Microsoft's Shift JIS variant is known simply as "Code page 932" on Microsoft Windows, however this is ambiguous as IBM's code page 932, while also a Shift JIS variant, lacks the NEC and NEC-selected double-byte vendor extensions which are present in Microsoft's variant (although both include the IBM extensions) and preserves the 1978 ordering of JIS X 0208.
The lead bytes for the double-byte characters are "shifted" around the 64 halfwidth katakana characters in the single-byte range 0xA1 to 0xDF. The single-byte characters 0x 00 to 0x7F match the ASCII encoding, except for a yen sign (U+00A5) at 0x5C and an overline (U+203E) at 0x7E in place of the ASCII character set's backslash and tilde ...
First byte of a double-byte character, used by JIS X 0208 Not used as first byte, unallocated space in JIS X 0208 First byte of a double-byte IBM extension character First byte of a double-byte IBM-designated user defined character IBM single byte extensions Second byte of a double-byte character whose first half of the JIS sequence was odd
Kanji ROM card installed in PC-98, which stored about 3000 glyphs, and enabled a quick display. It also had a RAM to store gaiji. Embedded devices are still using half-width kana. The first encoding to become widely used was JIS X 0201, which is a single-byte encoding that only covers standard 7-bit ASCII characters with half-width katakana ...
JIS X 0208 is a 2-byte character set specified as a Japanese Industrial Standard, containing 6879 graphic characters suitable for writing text, place names, personal names, and so forth in the Japanese language.
A long double (eight bytes with Visual C++, sixteen bytes with GCC) will be 8-byte aligned with Visual C++ and 16-byte aligned with GCC. Any pointer (eight bytes) will be 8-byte aligned. Some data types are dependent on the implementation. Here is a structure with members of various types, totaling 8 bytes before compilation:
First byte of a double-byte character, used by JIS X 0208 Not used as first byte, unallocated space in JIS X 0208 First byte of a double-byte IBM extension character First byte of a double-byte IBM-designated user defined character Not used as first byte Second byte of a double-byte character whose first half of the JIS sequence was odd
The term DBCS traditionally refers to a character encoding where each graphic character is encoded in two bytes.. In an 8-bit code, such as Big-5 or Shift JIS, a character from the DBCS is represented with a lead (first) byte with the most significant bit set (i.e., being greater than seven bits), and paired up with a single-byte character-set (SBCS).
