Thanks for the reply. Are you sure those characters don't exist n
shift-jis? Please take a look at the attached text file. It contains
two characters ("1" in a circle and "2" in a circle). The file is in
shift-jis encoding.
Not possible. Here is an extract from
<ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/OBSOLETE/EASTASIA/JIS/SHIFTJIS.TXT>
which shows a large gap where you say there are characters assigned.
I presume the file is produced using some proprietary extension of
Shift_JIS with extra characters added, as is the case with
Mac-Japanese, but I suspect also that your file was corrupted in
transit since it contains characters 0x BD40BD41. You would need to
send it zipped.
