This is OS/2 only problem, correct?

Comment 2

[Koike Kazuhiko]

I forgot to copy the URL of UTF-8 case.
http://www.ingrid.org/java/i18n/unicode-utf8.html

Win98 build can displaye these codes, except yen sign(bug 57462).

In OS2 VAC build(Build ID: 2001062912),
1-81(cent sign), 1-82(pound sign), 2-44(not sign) of JIS X 0208 in UTF-8 are displayed exactly.

IBM943 table above is created from 03AF34B0.TPMAP120 distributed by IBM DeveloperToolbox.
     http://service2.boulder.ibm.com/devcon/devcon/docs/nlstbl.htm
I can not find IBM-932 table, but IBM943 is very similar to IBM932.
#if IBM932 table is available, please use it.

I have checked in our best attempt at UTF-8 on OS/2.

It has some limitations, but we have talked to the experts and this is the best 
we can do with what OS/2 has.

pages with a utf-8 charset will display correctly, but upper byte unicode chars 
will not display on other pages.

For instance, you can't display Chinese on a German web page using &xxx; values 
- it has to be a utf-8 page.

#58637 reports two bugs.

First bug(sjis/euc/iso-2022-jp conversion table problem) is not fixed.
But I think that this is a duplicate bug(#54135).

And second bug(UTF-8 problem) is fixed.
