Appendix A.2 Code mapping for special characters

This appendix describes the code mapping for special characters.

The code conversion supports the Windows special characters, IBM selected characters, and NEC-selected IBM extended characters as special characters provided by vendors. To use the IBM selected characters and NEC-selected IBM extended characters, you must define the user mapping.

(1) Conversion mapping of Windows special characters

(a) Mapping Windows special characters (SJIS and Unicode (UCS-2))

[Figure]

#1
The numeric characters in the H/L column of the table are SJIS. The numeric characters in the column where the fonts are described are Unicode (UCS-2).
#2
The parts with thick borders only indicate the conversion from SJIS to Unicode (UCS-2). The conversion from Unicode (UCS-2) to SJIS is as described in (b) Mapping Windows special characters (from Unicode (UCS-2) to SJIS).
