JIS X 0201, a Japanese Industrial Standard developed in 1969 (then called JIS C 6220 until the JIS category reform), was the first Japanese character encoding to become widely used. This article is about Japanese Industrial Standards in general see JIS encoding for the character encoding used in representing the Japanese language for computer software A character encoding consists of a code that pairs a sequence of characters from a given character set (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Code page It is either 7-bit encoding or 8-bit encoding, although 8-bit encoding is dominant for modern use.
For 7-bit encoding, it is 128 potential codes where two 96 graphic character sets selected with Shift Out and Shift In characters. In ISO/IEC 646 (commonly known as ASCII) and related standards including ISO 8859 and Unicode, a graphic character is any character intended Shift Out (SO and Shift In (SI are ASCII Control characters 14 and 15 respectively (0xE and 0xF For 8-bit encoding, it yields 256 potential codes combining two graphic character sets. The first 96 codes comprise a Japanese variant of ISO 646, or ASCII with backslash (\) and tilde (~) replaced by yen (¥) and overline (¯), while the second 96 codes consist mainly of katakana. ISO 646 is an ISO standard that since 1972 has specified a 7- Bit character code from which several national standards are derived American Standard Code for Information Interchange ( ASCII) The backslash ( \) is a typographical mark ( Glyph) used chiefly in Computing. The tilde (~ (/ˈtɪldə/ is a Grapheme with several uses The name of the character comes from Spanish, from the Latin titulus is a Japanese Syllabary, one component of the Japanese writing system along with Hiragana, Kanji, and in some cases the Latin alphabet Control characters are specified in JIS X 0211. In Computing and Telecommunication, a control character or non-printing character is a Code point (a Number) in a Note that this standard does not define any means to encode kanji. are the Chinese characters that are used in the modern Japanese logographic writing system along with Hiragana (ひらがな 平仮名 Katakana
JIS X 0201 was supplanted by subsequent encodings such as Shift JIS (which combines this standard and JIS X 0208) and later Unicode. JIS X 0208 is a Japanese Industrial Standard defining a set of Kanji indexed by a pair of integers from 1 to 94 (this is known as the kuten pair of the In Computing, Unicode is an Industry standard allowing Computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's
The substitution of the yen symbol for backslash can make paths on DOS and Windows-based computers with Japanese support display strangely, like "C:¥Program Files¥", for example. DOS, short for "Disk Operating System" is a shorthand term for several closely related Operating systems that dominated the IBM PC compatible market Microsoft Windows is a series of Software Operating systems and Graphical user interfaces produced by Microsoft. Another similar problem is C programming language's control characters of string literals. tags please moot on the talk page first! --> In Computing, C is a general-purpose cross-platform block structured
