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

61 =head1 Note on ISO-2022-JP(-1)?
63 ISO-2022-JP-1 (RFC2237) is a superset of ISO-2022-JP (RFC1468) which
64 adds support for JIS X 0212-1990. That means you can use the same
65 code to decode to utf8 but not vice versa.
67 $utf8 = decode('iso-2022-jp-1', $stream);
71 $utf8 = decode('iso-2022-jp', $stream);
73 yield the same result but
75 $with_0212 = encode('iso-2022-jp-1', $utf8);
79 $without_0212 = encode('iso-2022-jp', $utf8 );
81 In the latter case, characters that map to 0212 are first converted
82 to U+3013 (0xA2AE in EUC-JP; a white square also known as 'Tofu' or
83 'geta mark') then fed to the decoding engine. U+FFFD is not used,
84 in order to preserve text layout as much as possible.
88 The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even
89 though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See
91 L<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
93 to find out why it is implemented that way.
