Shift JIS (also SJIS, MIME name Shift_JIS, known as PCK in Solaris contexts) [2] [3] is a character encoding for the Japanese language, originally developed by the Japanese company ASCII Corporation [b] in conjunction with Microsoft and standardized as JIS X 0208 Appendix 1.
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.
In practice, "JIS encoding" usually refers to JIS X 0208 character data encoded with JIS X 0202. For instance, the IANA uses the JIS_Encoding label to refer to JIS X 0202, and the ISO-2022-JP label to refer to the profile thereof defined by RFC 1468. [2] Other encoding mechanisms for JIS characters include the Shift JIS encoding and EUC-JP.
Shift_JIS art is artwork created from characters in the Shift JIS character set, a superset of the ASCII encoding standard intended for Japanese usage. Shift_JIS art has become popular on web-based bulletin boards , notably 2channel , and has even made its way into mainstream media and commercial advertising in Japan .
Shift JIS supports kanji and was developed to be completely backward compatible with JIS X 0201, and thus is in much embedded electronic equipment. However, Shift JIS has the unfortunate property that it often breaks any parser (software that reads the coded text) that is not specifically designed to handle it.
JIS X 0208 is a widely deployed standard for Japanese character encoding that has several encoding forms. Shift JIS (Microsoft Code page 932 is a dialect of Shift_JIS) EUC-JP; ISO-2022-JP; JIS X 0213 is an extended version of JIS X 0208. Shift_JIS-2004; EUC-JIS-2004; ISO-2022-JP-2004; Chinese Guobiao.

In JIS X 0201, of which Shift JIS is an extension, assigns code point 0x5C to the Latin-script yen sign: as noted above, this is the code used for the backslash in ASCII and also subsequently in Unicode. The JIS X 0201 standard was widely adopted in Japan.
