  2. Shift JIS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_JIS

    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 ...

  3. Double-byte character set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-byte_character_set

    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).

  4. JIS X 0208 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JIS_X_0208

    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.

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadruple-precision...

    On x86 and x86-64, the most common C/C++ compilers implement long double as either 80-bit extended precision (e.g. the GNU C Compiler gcc [13] and the Intel C++ Compiler with a /Qlong‑double switch [14]) or simply as being synonymous with double precision (e.g. Microsoft Visual C++ [15]), rather than as quadruple precision.

  7. Code page 932 (IBM) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_932_(IBM)

    It is the combination of the single-byte Code page 897 and the double-byte Code page 301. [2] Code page 301 is designed to encode the same repertoire as IBM Japanese DBCS-Host . [ 3 ]

  8. Double-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating...

    Double-precision floating-point format (sometimes called FP64 or float64) is a floating-point number format, usually occupying 64 bits in computer memory; it represents a wide range of numeric values by using a floating radix point. Double precision may be chosen when the range or precision of single precision would be insufficient.

  9. Chinese character encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_character_encoding

    Two encoding schemes existed for GB 2312: a one-or-two byte 8-bit EUC-CN encoding commonly used, and a 7-bit encoding called HZ [1] for usenet posts. [2]: 94 A traditional variant called GB/T 12345 was published in 1990. The EUC-CN form was later extended into GBK to include all Unicode 1.1 CJK Ideographs in 1993, abandoning the ISO-2022 model.
