First I described about EUC-JP.

See attached images begin with EUC-JP.
They are showing http://coq.no/X/charset5/test-EUC-JP.php?EUC-JP with
* Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP
* Firefox 3.6 on Mac OS X 10.5
* Safari 4.0.5 on Mac OS X 10.5
* Google Chrome 5 on Mac OS X 10.5
* Opera 10.0 on Windows Vista

All of them can show
(0) ASCII (yen sign/back solidus is beyond this ticket)
(1) JIS X 0208 before 1990
(2) Half-width katakana
* NEC selected IBM extended characters
  (1st and 2nd character of labeled as `IBM')

IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera can show
* NEC special characters (labeled as `KanjiTalk 6/7, NEC' and `NEC')

Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera can show
* JIS X 0212 derived from IBM extended character (3rd-6th of `IBM')

Firefox, Chrome and Opera can show
(3) JIS X 0212-1990

Safari and Chrome can show
* IBM extended chacater (last one of `IBM')

No one can show
(1) JIS X 0208 after 1990
* DEC Kanji and KanjiTalk

IANA defined EUC-JP as following but real implementations are above.

Name: Extended_UNIX_Code_Packed_Format_for_Japanese
MIBenum: 18
Source: Standardized by OSF, UNIX International, and UNIX Systems
        Laboratories Pacific.  Uses ISO 2022 rules to select
               code set 0: US-ASCII (a single 7-bit byte set)
               code set 1: JIS X0208-1990 (a double 8-bit byte set)
                           restricted to A0-FF in both bytes
               code set 2: Half Width Katakana (a single 7-bit byte set)
                           requiring SS2 as the character prefix
               code set 3: JIS X0212-1990 (a double 7-bit byte set)
                           restricted to A0-FF in both bytes
                           requiring SS3 as the character prefix
Alias: csEUCPkdFmtJapanese
Alias: EUC-JP  (preferred MIME name)

CP51932 is:
(0) ASCII (yen sign/back solidus is beyond this ticket)
(1) JIS X 0208-1983
    NEC special characters
    NEC selected IBM extended characters
(2) Half-width katakana
http://nkf.sourceforge.jp/ucm/cp51932.ucm

All browser without Safari can show this character set.

Safari cannnot show NEC special characters;
but Chrome, whose engine is the same of Safari: WebKit, can show,
so I think this is Safari's bug.
