String::Multibyte::ShiftJIS - internally used by String::Multibyte for Shift-JIS

SYNOPSIS

    use String::Multibyte;

    $sjis = String::Multibyte->new('ShiftJIS');
    $sjis_length = $sjis->length($sjis_string);

DESCRIPTION

String::Multibyte::ShiftJIS is used for manipulation of strings in Shift-JIS family encodings.

Byte range of single-byte characters: 0x00..0x7F and 0xA1..0xDF.

Leading byte range of double-byte characters: 0x81..0x9F and 0xE0..0xFC.

Trailing byte range of double-byte characters: 0x40..0x7E and 0x80..0xFC.

Character order (invalid code points are excluded): 0x00..0x7F, 0xA1..0xDF, 0x8140..0x9FFC, 0xE040..0xFCFC.

CAVEAT

0xF040..0xFCFC are included.

0x80, 0xA0, and 0xFD..0xFF are not supported.

For Shift_JISX0213, row 8 of the plane 2, 0xF09F..0xF0FC, is simply arranged in the binary order (This module is not aware of the JIS X 0213 order). Then, row 1 (0xF040) < row 8 (0xF09F) < row 3 (0xF140) ...
