Registration of new charset CP50220
Hello,
This is Registration of new charset CP50220.
Following proposal should get a consensus in ietf-charsets,
so I submit this to IANA.
Regards,
---
Charset name: CP50220
Charset aliases: csCP50220
Suitability for use in MIME text:
Yes, CP50220 is suitable for use with subtypes of the "text" Content-Type.
Since the "CP50220" is 7bit encoding, Content-Transfer-Encoding is not needed.
Based64 or Quoted-Printable encoding MAY break this encoding.
Published specification(s):
CP50220 is consisted by following character sets:
reg# character set ESC sequence designated to
------------------------------------------------------
6 US-ASCII ESC ( B G0
13 JIS X 0201-Katakana ESC ( I G0
14 JIS X 0201-Roman ESC ( J G0
42 JIS X 0208-1978 ESC $ @ G0
87 JIS X 0208-1983 ESC $ B G0
* The beggining of a text is assumed to have "ESC ( B ESC ) I".
* Each line of CP50220 text MUST end with ASCII.
* On receiving JIS X 0201-Katakana characters MAY be encoded
with the escape sequence: ESC ( I.
* On sending JIS X 0201-Katakana, it MUST be converted to related
character of JIS X 0208.
* The character set of CP50220 is based on Windows Codepage 932.
So a meaning and a map to Unicode of each character is refer to it.

ISO 10646 equivalency table:
This charset is ISO/IEC 2022 family.
Conversion of each character refers Windows Codepage 932:

Additional information:
CP50220 is a variant of ISO-2022-JP (like Windows-31J and Shift_JIS).
this charset is different from ISO-2022-JP in:
* CP50220 supports JIS X 0201-Katakana
* CP50220 supports characters extended by Windows Codepage 932
(NEC special characters and NEC selection of IBM extensions)
* Unicode mapping of some characters are different
Typical user of CP50220 is web browsers. When web browsers load
a page which are declared or auto-detected as "ISO-2022-JP", they
don't interpret it as true ISO-2022-JP registerd in IANA Character
Sets but as CP50220. When they post form data as "ISO-2022-JP",
the data is also encoded as CP50220. Note that though csISO2022JP
is alias of ISO-2022-JP in IANA Character Sets, on Windows it means
neither registered ISO-2022-JP nor CP50220 but means CP50221.
The name "CP50220" is in use following applications:
* Citrus iconv (NetBSD and DragonFly uses this)
* Mojikan http://www.mirai-ii.co.jp/moji/mojikan/
* nkf 2.0.5
* Encode-EUCJPMS-0.06
Moreover applications which uses MLang.DLL or .NET Framework for
converting "ISO-2022-JP" implicitly uses this charset.
Why the name is not "Windows-50220" is some of applications which accept
the name "CP50220" don't support the name "Windows-50220".
CP50220 is for use of communicating with legacy system.
UTF-8 is preferred to CP50220 for new system.
