I don't understand. Are you saying that the single character in CP932 consists of 12 bytes? As far as I can see, CP932 is S-JIS, which is a just a simple double byte character set. What am I missing. > This has a ruined influence to the tools that don't see locale. Can you please try to explain the problem in a bit more detail for those of us not fluent in eastern asian languages? What do you mean with "hostile" and "ruined influence"?
