JDK-4151410 - RFE: JIS X0208-1997 defined Shift JIS should replace the current SJIS converters
Description
Several of the Japanese converters have the wrong data in JDK 1.2. This is
due to the change-over to the new generated converter scheme of Dec '97,
and the faulty authority files from the Unicode Consortium that were 
used as input. The following e-mail from Koushi Takahashi of JavaSoft A/P 
gives the desired mappings:

Mark-S,

Here is the code point you requested,

FullWidth  Reverse SOLIDUS   TILDE

Unicode    \uFF3c            \uFF5e

JISX0201   *** JISX0201 are all half width, hence no mapping here
JISX0208   0x2140            0x2131
JISX0212   not mapped        0xa2b7
EUC_JP     0xa1c0            0xa1b1
SHIFTJIS   0x815f            0x8150

EVALUATION The converters will be regenerated from the proper authority files. mark.son-bell@eng 1998-05-18 Note that Unicode \uFF5E will be mapped to JIS0208 0x2141, not 0x2131; and therefore to EUC_JP 0xa1c1, not 0xa1b1; and therefore SJIS 0x8160, not 0x8150. This is as confirmed by Masayoshi Okutsu based on examination of the tables published in "Understanding Japanese Information Processing" by Ken Lunde. mark.son-bell@eng 1998-05-18
