31This module implements Japanese charset encodings. Encodings
32supported are as follows.

55
a63c962f 56=head1 Note on ISO-2022-JP(-1)?
57
58ISO-2022-JP-1 (RFC2237) is a superset of ISO-2022-JP (RFC1468) which
59adds support for JIS X 0212-1990. That means you can use the same
60code to decode to utf8 but not vice versa.
61
62 $utf8 = decode('iso-2022-jp-1', $stream);
63 $utf8 = decode('iso-2022-jp', $stream);
64
65Yields the same result but
66
67 $with_0212 = encode('iso-2022-jp-1', $utf8);
68
69is now different from
70
71 $without_0212 = encode('iso-2022-jp', $utf8 );
72
73In the latter case, characters that map to 0212 are at first converted
74to U+3013 (0xA2AE in EUC-JP; a white square also known as 'Tofu') then
75fed to decoding engine. U+FFFD is not used to preserve text layout as
76much as possible.

557e5ea9 78=head1 BUGS
79
557e5ea9 80ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it
81conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See
82
a63c962f 83L<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
557e5ea9 84
85to find why it is implemented that way.
