Character encodings, EUC (OMFFEUC)

 
 

This library contains one OmniMark external source function and one OmniMark external output function implementation for converting from and to the "Extended Unix Code" encoding of Japanese text, as follows:

The data formats are interpreted/produced according to the Japanese Industry Standards JIS X 0201, JIS X 0208 and JIS X 0212. The EUC data format is transformed using the JIS<->EUC conversion algorithms.

The only kinds of errors that can occur are in conversion: finding a character that doesn't have a conversion in the other character set. In this case, the converted value use is DEL (0x7F) in the JIS encoding, and NOT-A-CHARACTER (0xFFFD) in the Unicode (UTF-8) encoding.

These functions are based on the book "Understanding Japanese Information Processing" by Ken Lunde, O'Reilly 1993, ISBN 1-56592-043-0.

Usage Note

To use omffeuc, you must import it into your program using a statement like this:

  import "omffeuc.xmd" prefixed by euc.

(Please see the import topic for more on importing.)
