A.2 Code mapping for special characters

The following table describes the mapping for conversion of special characters for Code Converter.

Code Converter supports three types of special characters provided by vendors: Windows special characters, IBM selected characters, and NEC-selected IBM extended characters. To use the IBM selected characters and NEC-selected IBM extended characters, you must define the user mapping.

Table A‒1: List of conversion details for the code mapping of special characters provided by vendors
Conversion details		Location of description
Windows special characters	SJIS and Unicode (UCS-2)	Appendix A.2(1)(a)
Windows special characters	From Unicode (UCS-2) to SJIS	Appendix A.2(1)(b)
IBM selected characters		Appendix A.2(2)
NEC-selected IBM extended characters		Appendix A.2(3)

Note 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).
Note 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).
