INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

SYNOPSIS

         use Encode::JIS2K;
         use Encode qw/encode decode/;
         $euc_2k = encode("euc-jisx0213", $utf8);
         $utf8   = decode("euc-jisx0213", $euc_jp);

ABSTRACT

       This module implements encodings that covers JIS X 0213
       charset (AKA JIS 2000, hence the module name).  Encodings
       supported are as follows.

       Encode manpage.

what is JIS X 0213 anyway?

       Simply put, JIS X 0213 is a rework and reorganization of
       JIS X 0208 and JIS X 0212.  They consist of two 94x94
       planes which roughly corrensponds as follows;

         JIS X 0213 Plane 1 = JIS X 0208 + extension
         JIS X 0213 Plane 2 = JIS X 0212 reorganized + extension

       And here is the character repertoire there of at a glance.

         JIS X 0213-1       8,762    1..94 (all!)

       JIS X 0213 was designed to extend JIS X 0208 and JIS X
       0212 without being imcompatible to (classic) EUC-JP and
       Shift_JIS.  The following characteristics are as a result
       thereof.

       o JIS X plane 1 is (almost) a superset of JIS X 0208.
         However, with Unicode 3.2.0 the mappings differ in 3
         codepoints.

Kuten JIS X 0208 -> Unicode JIS X 0213 -> Unicode

This allows EUC-JP's G3 to contain both JIS X 0212 and JIS 0213 plane 2. However, JIS X 0212:1990 already contains many of Dai-4 Suijun Kanji so EUC's G3 is subject to containing dupli- cate mappings. o Because of Halfwidth Katakana, Shift_JIS mapping has been tricky and it is even trickier. Here is a regex that matches Shift_JISX0213 sequence (note: you have to "use bytes" to make it work!) $re_valid_shifjisx0213 = qr/^(?: [\x00-\x7f] | # ASCII or [\xa1-\xdf] | # JIS X 0201 KANA or [\x81-\x9f\xe0-\xfc][\x40-\x7e\x80-\xfc] # JIS X 0213 )+$/xo; Note on EUC-JISX0213 (vs. EUC-JP) As of Encode-1.64, 'euc-jp' does support euc-jisx0213 for decoding. However, 'euc-jp' in Encode and 'euc-jisx0213' differ as follows; euc-jp euc-jisx0213 -------------------------------------------------------------- Decodes....
