Thank you very much for this depth explanation, this really save my day.

So far all I know is the 3 encoding SJIS, EUC-JP, and ISO-2022-JP, this
encoding knowledge with -WIN suffix used in PHP is new for me. I'm curious
that this -WIN suffix only in PHP while in other programming term (eg.
MySQL), it's EUC-JP encoding already cover all charset that PHP's EUC-JP and
EUCJP-WIN has.

thank you

regards,
