JIS X 0201

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

JIS X 0201, a Japanese Industrial Standard developed in 1969, was the first Japanese character encoding to become widely used. It is an 8-bit encoding, which yields 256 potential characters. The lower 128 characters comprise a Japanese variant of ASCII, with backslash (\) and tilde (~) replaced by yen (¥) and overline (¯), while the upper 128 characters consist mainly of katakana. JIS X 0201 was mainly supplanted by JIS X 0208 and other subsequent encodings such as Shift-JIS and Unicode. The substitution of the yen symbol for backslash can make paths on DOS and Windows-based computers with Japanese support display strangely, like "C:¥Program Files¥", for example.
