For those of us not fluent in Japanese, can you please explain the
tables in http://www.opengroup.or.jp/jvc/cde/ucs-conv.html#ch3_1_2?
There is one table saying that eucJP-open character 0x5C relates to
U+00A5, and another saying that it relates to U+005C.
Also, can you explain the relevance of the eucJP-*open* character name
designation? The OpenGroup registry
(ftp://ftp.opengroup.org/pub/code_set_registry/cs_registry1.2h)
only knows of eucJP:1993; it comments on that character set
Comments
Implementation of the EUC (Extended UNIX Codes) encoding
method, with ISO 646:1991 IRV assigned to CS0, JIS X0208:1990
assigned to CS1, JIS X0201:1976 assigned to CS2, and
JIS X0212:1990 assigned to CS3.
end
which, to me, says that the IRV is used for 05/12 (i.e. reverse
solidus).
Furthermore,
http://www.y-adagio.com/public/standards/tr_xml_jpf/kaisetsu.htm lists
a number of eucJP variants; it appears that x-eucjp-unicode-0.9,
x-eucjp-jisx0221-1995, x-eucjp-open-19970715-ms all map character 5C
to U+005C, whereas x-eucjp-open-19970715-0201 is listed as mapping it
to U+00A5.
It may be clear to you; to me, it is not.

Martin
