I think Barry is getting confused here as these are different. Even the little kana "ya" used to modify "Shi" into "Sha" has half width (0xAC) and full width (0x8383) forms in Shift-JIS. > Kana have changed in usage during the lifetime of people still alive - > there are some that are no longer used. By the way, I never noticed before but the rarely used kana characters (e.g. "ye") are not included in the half width block in Shift-JIS.
