Detailed Description

The QJisCodec class provides conversion to and from JIS character sets.

More precisely, the QJisCodec class subclasses QTextCodec to provide support for JIS X 0201 Latin, JIS X 0201 Kana, JIS X 0208 and JIS X 0212.

The environment variable UNICODEMAP_JP can be used to fine-tune QJisCodec, QSjisCodec and QEucJpCodec. The mapping names are as for the Japanese XML working group's XML Japanese Profile, because it names and explains all the widely used mappings. Here are brief descriptions, written by Serika Kurusugawa:

In addition, the extensions "nec-vdc", "ibm-vdc" and "udc" are supported.

For example, if you want to use Unicode style conversion but with NEC's extension, set UNICODEMAP_JP to unicode-0.9, nec-vdc. (You will probably need to quote that in a shell command.)
