949923 - Sync JIS X 0208 index with the Encoding Standard

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 593046

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

http://coq.no/character-tables/japanese/en identifies seven JIS X 0208 characters whose Unicode mapping in Firefox differs from the mapping used by other browsers and the Encoding Standard.

We should align with other browsers and the Encoding Standard. When doing so, we should check for other differences (apart from the seven), too, just in case.

I don't know how coq inspected that, but Firefox matches other browsers and the Encoding Standard:
< escape(new TextDecoder('shift_jis').decode(new Uint8Array([0x81,0x5C,0x81,0x60,0x81,0x61,0x81,0x7C,0x81,0x91,0x81,0x92,0x81,0xCA])));
> "%u2015%uFF5E%u2225%uFF0D%uFFE0%uFFE1%uFFE2"
< escape(new TextDecoder('euc-jp').decode(new Uint8Array([0xA1,0xBD,0xA1,0xC1,0xA1,0xC2,0xA1,0xDD,0xA1,0xF1,0xA1,0xF2,0xA2,0xCC])));
> "%u2015%uFF5E%u2225%uFF0D%uFFE0%uFFE1%uFFE2"
< escape(new TextDecoder('iso-2022-jp').decode(new Uint8Array([0x1B,0x24,0x42,0x21,0x3D,0x21,0x41,0x21,0x42,0x21,0x5D,0x21,0x71,0x21,0x72,0x22,0x4C,0x1B,0x28,0x42])));
> "%u2015%uFF5E%u2225%uFF0D%uFFE0%uFFE1%uFFE2"
Also, U+FFE3 is typo of U+FFE2.

coq, could you update the page if it is outdated?

Henri, you fixed this yourself in bug 593046!

Before filing the bug, I searched for the code points mentioned on coq.no in japanese.map, but I guess my interpretation of what I saw was incorrect.

Thanks.
