A dozen years ago windows-31J was created because people noticed that there were lots of different flavors of shift_jis floating around. Uniquely identifying them may have made sense, however the windows-31J term has never really been
widely adopted for the windows code page 932 behavior. So I’d like to propose the following updates, loosly based on discussion about variants some time ago. I’d be happy to accept other suggestions that help users discover that some test is tagged with the less-specific shift_jis name rather
than the more specific vendor charset name. Name: Windows-31J MIBenum: 2024 Source: Windows Japanese. A variant of Shift_JIS to include NEC special characters (Row 13), NEC selection of IBM extensions (Rows 89 to 92), and IBM extensions (Rows 115 to 119). The CCS's are JIS X0201:1997,
JIS X0208:1997, and these extensions. This charset
can be used for the top-level media type "text", but it is of limited or specialized use (see RFC2278). PCL Symbol Set id: 19K. Windows-31J text is commonly declared with the shift_jis name of the parent charset. Alias: csWindows31J Alias: shift_jis+cp932 Name: Shift_JIS (preferred MIME name) MIBenum: 17 Source: This charset is an extension of csHalfWidthKatakana by adding graphic characters in JIS X 0208. The CCS's are JIS X0201:1997 and JIS X0208:1997. The complete definition is shown in Appendix 1 of JIS X0208:1997. This charset can be used for the top-level media type "text". Several vendor specific charsets that derive from shift_jis often use the shift_jis name instead of a more specific vendor charset name.
