JIS X 0201, a Japanese Industrial Standard developed in 1969 (then called JIS C 6220 until the JIS category reform), was the first Japanese electronic character set to become widely used. It is either 7-bit encoding or 8-bit encoding, although 8-bit encoding is dominant for modern use. The full name of this standard is 7-bit and 8-bit coded character sets for information interchange (7ビット及び8ビットの情報交換用符号化文字集合).

The first 96 codes comprise an ISO 646 variant, mostly following ASCII with some differences, while the second 96 character codes represent the phonetic Japanese katakana signs. Since the encoding does not provide any way to express hiragana or kanji, it is only capable of expressing simplified written Japanese. Nevertheless, it is possible to express, at least phonetically, the full range of sounds in the language. In the 1980s, this was acceptable for media such as text mode computer terminals, telegrams, receipts or other electronically handled data.

JIS X 0201 was supplanted by subsequent encodings such as Shift JIS (which combines this standard and JIS X 0208) and later Unicode.

Implementation details

7-bit Roman (shift in) set
7-bit Kana (shift out) set

The first 96 codes in JIS comprise a Japanese variant of ISO 646, or ASCII with backslash (\) and tilde (~) replaced by yen (¥) and overline (‾),[1] while the second 96 codes consist mainly of katakana. Control characters are specified in JIS X 0211.

In the 7-bit format, the shift out control character (0x0E) switches to the Kana set and shift in (0x0F) switches to the Roman set.[2][3] In the 8-bit format, given in the chart below, bytes with the most significant bit set (i.e. 0x80–0xFF) are used for the Kana set and bytes with it unset (i.e. 0x00–0x7F) are used otherwise.

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.[4] Another similar problem is C programming language's control characters of string literals, like printf("Hello, world.¥n");.

Shift JIS

IBM's implementations

Code page 897 is IBM's implementation of the 8-bit form of JIS X 0201. It includes several additional graphical characters in the C0 control characters area, and the code points in question may be used as control characters or graphical characters depending on the context,[5] similarly in concept to OEM-US, but with different graphical characters. The C0 rows are shown below.

IBM also implements the 7-bit Roman set of JIS X 0201 as Code page 895[11] and the 7-bit Kana set as Code page 896 for use as ISO 2022 or EUC-JP code-sets. Code page 896, in addition to standard JIS X 0201 assignments, defines five additional assignments, shown below.[12] Although use of these extended characters is not permitted by the associated CCSID 896,[13] they are permitted by the alternative CCSID 4992.[14]

IBM's Code page 1041 is an extended version of Code page 897, encoding these five IBM extended[15] characters in alternative locations which are compatible with Shift JIS (respectively 0x80, 0xA0, 0xFD, 0xFE and 0xFF).[16]

IBM's Code page 903 is encoded for use as the single byte component of certain simplified Chinese character encodings.[17] Despite this, it follows ISO 646-JP / the Roman half of JIS X 0201, in that it replaces the ASCII backslash 0x5C (rather than the ASCII dollar sign 0x24 as in GB 1988 / ISO 646-CN) with the yen/yuan sign. It also uses the same C0 replacement graphics as code page 897.[18] The closely related Code page 904 is encoded for use as the single byte component of certain traditional Chinese character encodings,[19] and differs in following ASCII instead.[20]
