I picked the syntax based on a previous thread a couple years ago, I didn't realize this was a problem.

My more general question is "how do I say 'shift_jis points to windows-31J' on some systems, despite what the charset registry has said for years?"

The ICU converter alias list has the following aliases tagged with "WINDOWS":�Shift_JIS,�MS_Kanji,�csShiftJIS,�csWindows31J,�cp932,�windows-932. I don't know which of these names Windows actually recognizes. If there is at least one name that Windows recognizes (MS_Kanji??)�and that does not collide with an IANA standard-Shift-JIS alias, you could use that.
