 This module implements Japanese charset encodings.  Encodings supported
 are as follows.

   Canonical   Alias             Description
   --------------------------------------------------------------------
   euc-jp      /\beuc.*jp$/i     EUC (Extended Unix Character)
               /\bjp.*euc/i
           /\bujis$/i
   shiftjis    /\bshift.*jis$/i  Shift JIS (aka MS Kanji)
           /\bsjis$/i
   7bit-jis    /\bjis$/i         7bit JIS
   iso-2022-jp                   ISO-2022-JP                  [RFC1468]
                 = 7bit JIS with all Halfwidth Kana
                   converted to Fullwidth
   iso-2022-jp-1                 ISO-2022-JP-1                [RFC2237]
                                 = ISO-2022-JP with JIS X 0212-1990
                   support.  See below
   MacJapanese                   Shift JIS + Apple vendor mappings

 To find out how to use this module in detail, see Encode.

NNoottee oonn IISSOO--22002222--JJPP((--11))?? ISO-2022-JP-1 (RFC2237) is a superset of ISO-2022-JP (RFC1468) which adds support for JIS X 0212-1990. That means you can use the same code to decode to utf8 but not vice versa.

   $utf8 = decode('iso-2022-jp-1', $stream);

 and

   $utf8 = decode('iso-2022-jp',   $stream);

 yield the same result but

   $with_0212 = encode('iso-2022-jp-1', $utf8);

 is now different from

   $without_0212 = encode('iso-2022-jp', $utf8 );

 In the latter case, characters that map to 0212 are first converted to
 U+3013 (0xA2AE in EUC-JP; a white square also known as 'Tofu' or 'geta
 mark') then fed to the decoding engine.  U+FFFD is not used, in order to
 preserve text layout as much as possible.

BBUUGGSS #

 The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though
 this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium.
