        {page-number}: minor technical mistake

        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification


UNCONFIRMED errors and suggestions from readers:


{79} Table 3-16 lists rows 10 - 15 as Unassigned for GB 2312-80. On page 640, 
the GB 2312-80 code table has a row 10 and row 11.

LIBICONV by Bruno Haible is based on CJKV and in code takes rows 10 and 11 as 
unassigned (as well as rows 12 - 15).


(95)  4th paragraph, 2nd line;
"...considerably less characters" should be "...considerably fewer characters"


(221) Table 5-3:
wrong Hiragana symbols for MU and ME


[268]  end of 1st line to 2nd line:;
Korean input does have one feature not shared Chinese and "Korean".

Shouldn't it read like this:
"Japanese" instead "Korean".


[828] a character table of row 5:
There are no characters defined in row 5 in JIS X 0212-1990. JIS X 0212-1990 
has 266 non-KANJI characters and 5801 KANJI characters. Your table contains 
270 non-KANJI and 5801 KANJI. Please check your fonts referred to again.


(959) In the table Grade 3 of Gakush~u Kanji, the character at 17-91 (in JIS X
0208:1997) with OU as its sound, is missing and mistakingly perhaps, replaced 
by the character at 41-55 with OTTO as its sound. Vice versa, in the table 
Grade 4, 41-55 is missing and replaced by 17-91.

I am sorry to say that I could not find the primary source, but several 
secondary sources suuport this.  Here is one of them online:

You should know the shapes, but just in case:

{1011}  sjis2euc.pl;

    (($y = &sjis2jis($x)) =~ tr/\21-\x7E/\xA1-\xFE/, $y) :

Should read:

    (($y = &sjis2jis($x)) =~ tr/\x21-\x7E/\xA1-\xFE/, $y) :

(i.e. there should be an 'x' after the first backslash)
