Date?

When was this standard developed? Shinobu 16:17, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article finally has the answer to this question: it was developed in several stages, with most of the groundwork done in the 1970’s and much of the sleuthing into the origins actually done in preparation for the 1997 version. -BRPXQZME (talk) 15:17, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting remark incorrect

Removed from the article:

Japanese software typically uses the order of JIS X 0208 to sort kanji for display to the user. This is essentially the same as the order of characters by radical and stroke count used in a kanji dictionary.

For the most commonly used characters this is not true, because they are sorted by on-reading. That's why the set starts with 亜 (a) which is then followed by 唖 (a) until it reaches 哀 (ai) and so on until 杏 (an) is followed by 以 (i), while 一 (ichi) is located between 磯 (iso - which appears to be a kun-reading...) and 壱 (also ichi - alternative for 一 in legal documents; much harder to add a stroke or two this way). Shinobu 17:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A list?

I've found several discussions online containing (partial) lists of yūreimoji, but does anyone have anything that can be used as a sufficiently reliable citation to include such a list in the article? Shinobu 12:22, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The 1997 standard is reliable enough, I suppose.... -BRPXQZME (talk) 15:17, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

kuten and min

This page describes "kuten" as being row and column and in fact kuten redirects here. But in the Unihan database there is also a reference to "min" which does not seem to be defined anywhere on the unicode site or on Wikipedia. It is used only for later versions of JIS. Could there be 3-byte JIS standards where "min" means page? — Hippietrail (talk) 04:55, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that is a mistaken reading of “men” (“面”, plane). -BRPXQZME (talk) 15:17, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comprehensive translation

This article has now been translated from ja:JIS X 0208, which gives a pretty thorough overview of the topic. An equally thorough copyediting would be appreciated! -BRPXQZME (talk) 15:17, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

translating ja:幽霊文字

I am currently translating ja:幽霊文字 on User:Unnecessary stuff/Yūrei moji. It would be really great if anyone helps translate. --Unnecessary stuff (talk) 23:10, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Encoding table

Would anyone object if I put the entire encoding table of JIS X 0208—as in the characters and their codes—on Wikisource? -- Denelson 83 22:15, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

5th standard, JIS X 0208:2012

A heads up that JIS X 0208:2012, the fifth standard, is also available, but my Japanese is not good enough to add it to the page. —kess (talk) 12:14, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Code page 955

Is this the 1978 version of JIS X 0208?Alexlatham96 (talk) 00:49, 25 March 2018 (UTC) IBM claims it is.[reply]

Ghost characters

the "Kanji from unknown sources" section has a list of ghost characters which are all listed as some form of "unknown", while the ghost characters article explicitly lists where almost all of them come from. The short summary of the topic here should reflect the information in the main article. — jonas (talk) 17:54, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
