Re: [PHP-I18N] Problem with specific kanji From: Moriyoshi Koizumi (moriyoshi <email protected>)

Hi,

Your problem is caused by the incompatiblity of character sets between
EUC-JP and SJIS-WIN, which could lead users to confusion; the SJIS-WIN
(aka CP932) character set has more characters than EUC-JP and the
character mapped to "\xfa\xb1" doesn't belong to a commonly available
character set.

In mbstring, SJIS is defined to consist of two character sets:
[JISX0201-1976] and [JISX0208-1983] and SJIS-WIN: [JISX0201-1976]
[JISX0208-1983] [IBM extensions] [NEC extensions] and [Microsoft
extensions], where "\xfa\b1" belongs to [IBM extensions].

The actual counterpart of Shift_JIS is EUC-JP, and that of SJIS-WIN is
"EUCJP-WIN".
