RE: Query on Encoding supporting Roman numbers, Circled numbers in Japanese strings

Those characters are non-JIS-standard characters (therefore not in
ISO-2022-JP or EUC-JP) that exist in Microsoft CP932 (the Japanese Windows
codepage). In other words: yes, you are correct.

Subject: Query on Encoding supporting Roman numbers, Circled numbers in
Japanese strings




Hi All,

I've a simple application which accepts Japanese string from a HTML form
and then show the same string in the response page.

Now if I enter Roman characters like I, II, etc and Circled numbers like
$B-!!"-"(B etc as a part of Japanese string, the string is properly shown back
in response page when the encoding used is UTF-8. However, the same thing
does not work in case of EUC_JP, Shift_JIS and ISO-2022-JP as encoding.

I believe these characters are not supported in EUC_JP, Shift_JIS and
ISO-2022_jp. Can anyone please confirm it ?

Regards,
Sourav
