DESCRIPTION

     The QJisCodec class provides conversion to and from JIS
     character sets.

     More precisely, the QJisCodec class subclasses QTextCodec to
     provide support for JIS X 0201 Latin, JIS X 0201 Kana, JIS X
     0208 and JIS X 0212.

     The environment variable UNICODEMAP_JP can be used to fine-
     tune QJisCodec, QSjisCodec and QEucJpCodec. The mapping
     names are as for the Japanese XML working group's XML
     Japanese Profile, because it names and explains all the
     widely used mappings. Here are brief descriptions, written
     by Serika Kurusugawa:



JISX0201 for 0x00-0x7f. (0.9 is a table version of jisx02xx
mapping used for Uniocde spec version 1.1.)
     "unicode-0.9" or "unicode-
          0201" for Unicode style. This assumes



(JISX0208 0x2140 and JISX0212 0x2237) are different from Unicode
1.1 to avoid conflict.
     "unicode-ascii" This assumes US-ASCII for 0x00-
          0x7f; some chars



1995" for JISX0221-JISX0201 style. JIS X 0221 is JIS version of
Unicode, but a few chars (0x5c, 0x7e, 0x2140, 0x216f, 0x2131) are
different from Unicode 1.1. This is used when 0x5c is treated as
YEN SIGN.
     "open-19970715-0201" ("open-
          0201" for convenience) or" jisx0221-



JISX0221-ASCII style. This is used when 0x5c is treated as
REVERSE SOLIDUS.
     "open-19970715-ascii" ("open-ascii" for convenience) for



Microsoft Windows style. Windows Code Page 932. Some chars
(0x2140, 0x2141, 0x2142, 0x215d, 0x2171, 0x2172) are different
from Unicode 1.1.
     "open-19970715-ms" ("open-
          ms" for convenience) or "cp932" for



JIS 0x2140 is mapped to UFF3C. Either ASCII or JISX0201 can be
used for 0x00-0x7f.
     "jdk1.1.7" for Sun's JDK style. Same as Unicode 1.1, except that



     In addition, the extensions "nec-vdc", "ibm-vdc" and "udc"
     are supported.

     For example, if you want to use Unicode style conversion but
     with NEC's extension, set UNICODEMAP_JP to <nobr>unicode-
     0.9, nec-vdc.</nobr> (You will probably need to quote that
     in a shell command.)
