NAME

     Encode::JP - Japanese Encodings

SYNOPSIS

         use Encode qw/encode decode/;
         $euc_jp = encode("euc-jp", $utf8);   # loads Encode::JP implicitly
         $utf8   = decode("euc-jp", $euc_jp); # ditto

ABSTRACT

     This module implements Japanese charset encodings.  Encod-
     ings supported are as follows.

DESCRIPTION

     To find out how to use this module in detail, see Encode.

Note on ISO-2022-JP(-1)?
     ISO-2022-JP-1 (RFC2237) is a superset of ISO-2022-JP
     (RFC1468) which adds support for JIS X 0212-1990.  That
     means you can use the same code to decode to utf8 but not
     vice versa.

       $utf8 = decode('iso-2022-jp-1', $stream);

     and

       $utf8 = decode('iso-2022-jp',   $stream);

     yield the same result but

       $with_0212 = encode('iso-2022-jp-1', $utf8);

     is now different from

       $without_0212 = encode('iso-2022-jp', $utf8 );

     In the latter case, characters that map to 0212 are first
     converted to U+3013 (0xA2AE in EUC-JP; a white square also
     known as 'Tofu' or 'geta mark') then fed to the decoding
     engine.  U+FFFD is not used, in order to preserve text lay-
     out as much as possible.

BUGS

     The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings,
     even though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Con-
     sortium.  See

     <http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>

     to find out why it is implemented that way.
