> What character set(s) do those Japanese language newsgroups use? They use Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, and other characters found in JIS X 0208, JIS X 0201 and ASCII. Romaji is rare, except in message headers. :-) The characters take up either one or two bytes each. The 8th bit is not used. Escape sequences are used to delimit parts in different character sets. - -- Erik M. van der Poel erik@poel.juice.or.jp
