RE: [Syslog-sec] Syslog protocol - UTF-8 encoding

[Robert Horn <robert.horn@agfa.com>]

Minor correction.  I dug out my standards.  The Japanese 7-bit romanji is
the same as ASCII except that the backslash becomes a yen symbol and the
tilde becomes an overline symbol.  Two characters are different.

For those tracking precise numbers, the commonly used Japanese
charactersets are JIS X 0201 (which specifies ISO IR 13 for katakana and
ISO IR 14 for romanji);  JIS X 0209 (which specifies ISO IR 87 for basic
kanji, hiragana, and katakana); and JIS X 0212 (which specifies ISO IR 159
for additional kanji).  This packaged combination plus shift switching
rules is called ISO-2022 JP defined in RFC 1468.  You might also find
ISO-2022 JP 2, defined in RFC 1554, which has additional kanji codes and
different switching rules.  ISO 2022 JP 2 is much less commonly used than
ISO 2022 JP.  The romanji issues are the same for both.
