  36 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  37 Shift-JIS, also known as MS Kanji or SJIS, is an encoding system for
  38 Japanese characters, developed by Microsoft Corporation.
  39 It encodes the characters from the
  40 .Tn JIS
  41 X 0201 (ASCII/JIS-Roman) and
  42 .Tn JIS
  43 X 0208 (Japanese) character sets as sequences of either one or two bytes.
  44 .Pp
  45 Characters from the
  46 .Tn ASCII Ns
  47 /JIS-Roman character set are encoded as single bytes between 0x00 and 0x7F
  48 (ASCII) or 0xA1 and 0xDF (Half-width katakana).
  49 .Pp
  50 Characters from the
  51 .Tn JIS
  52 X 0208 character set are encoded as two bytes.
  53 The first ranges from
  54 0x81 - 0x9F, 0xE0 - 0xEA, 0xED - 0xEE (not
  55 .Tn JIS :
  56 .Tn NEC Ns - Ns
  57 selected
  58 .Tn IBM
  59 extended characters),
  60 0xF0 - 0xF9 (not
  61 .Tn JIS :

  63 or 0xFA - 0xFC (not
