Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHCO_14775

Symptoms:
	PHCO_14775:

	Four Japanese characters are being incorrectly mapped
	to different Unicode characters than expected.

	These mappings are not comformant to the Japanese
	national standard JIS-0221.

	Data loss may occur when sending this converted data to
	Unicode-aware systems (eg. NT).

Defect Description:
	PHCO_14775:

	Japanese iconv converter tables contain several incorrect
	entries when converting between SJIS/eucJP and UCS-2/UTF-8.
	Specifically, the following characters have incorrect
	mappings:  Overline, EM Dash, Yen Sign, and (eucJP only)
	Fullwidth Tilde.

	The table mappings should align with those specified in
	the JIS-0221 Extended mapping.

	                 (incorrect)
	SJIS     eucJP   current UCS-2  correct UCS-2  character
	----------------------------------------------------------
	0x8150   0xA1B1    0xFFe3         0x203E       Overline
	0x818F   0xA1EF    0xFFe5         0x00A5       Yen Sign
	0x815C   0xA1BD    0x2015         0x2014       Em Dash
	n/a      0x8FA2B7  0x02DC         0xFF5E   Fullwidth Tilde

	This affects the following iconv tables:

	eucJP=ucs2       ucs2=eucJP
	sjis=ucs2        ucs2=sjis

	Fixing these tables also fixes the incorrect UTF-8
	conversion mappings.
