coding accented roman chars
klo...@mpimg-berlin-dahlem.mpg.de
I know this has been asked before, but I haven't been interested that
time. Is there any semi 'official' way to encode accented roman characters
(e.g. german 'umlaute' ) in any of the japanese coding-shemes (EUC
prefered).With semi 'official' I mean that it has a good chance to survive
future standards (Unicode or whatever may be out there).
Thank's a lot

These characters are included in JIS X 0212-1990; see p. 267 of
Understanding Japanese Information Processing. The actual way
of integrating this standard into JIS or EUC is also described
in that book. For SJIS, it is impossible to integrate the whole
of JIS X 212, but the symbols and accented characters (not the
kanji) of JIS 212 fit into empty places in JIS 208. What actual
systems do if they find such characters in these places is
another thing.
