Japanese was initially standardized by the Japanese Industrial Standard.
Their standardization is called JIS X 0208, and the most recent form was
JIS X 0208-1997 and describes the JIS-encoding method applied to this
set. This standard is the most widely used within Japan. Japanese is the
official language of Japan, but is also a language widely used in Brazil,
South Korea, Peru, Taiwan, and the United States, with over 125 million
speakers worldwide.
EUC-JP (Extended Unix Code for Japanese) is another encoding method applied
to Japanese text that covers JIS X 0208-1990 8-bit double-byte characters
and JIS X 0212-1990 7-bit double-byte characters.
The ISO standard that covers this language is ISO 2022-JP, which is also
the name of the encoding method applied there. The Windows 932 code page
takes the ISO 2022-JP standard and adds in some of its own extensions
and changes the encoding method to a Shift-JIS. Windows code page 932
is the only place where this encoding method is used, so sometimes the
MS 932 code page gets confused with its applied encoding method and both
are referred to as Shift-JIS.
When testing this language, you will probably want to set your browser
accept language to Japanese (JP) and set your browser encoding and font
settings appropriately.
