For Windows client systems, the Teradata Database supports Shift-JIS encoding.
The KANJISJIS_0S client character set emulates the Shift-JIS style of mixed single- and multibyte character data, where the range of the first byte in a character determines if the character is represented as one byte or two bytes.
DOS/V is an implementation of a Japanese character set that uses the undefined columns of JIS X 0201; those bytes are the first bytes for 2-byte Kanji characters. This encoding is referred to as the Shift-JIS encoding.
The following tables show the Shift-JIS encoding according to character values and selected Shift-JIS characters. The figures in “Shift-JIS Encoding for Kanji” and “Shift-JIS Encoding: Detailed View” illustrate the encoding ranges.

Hex Representation of Shift-JIS |
Shift-JIS Implementation |
|
0x00-0x7E, 0xA1-0xDF |
JIS X 0201 |
|
0x81-0x9F, 0xE0-0xFC |
First byte of double-byte representation. Its mapping is as follows: 1. 0x81-0x9F--Contains rows 1 to 62 from JIS X 0208. 2. 0xE0-0xEF--Contains rows 63 to 94 from JIS X 0208. 3. 0xF0-0xF9--Contains 1,880 Gaiji characters. 4. 0xFA-0xFC--Contains IBM-defined characters. |
|
0x40-0x7E, 0x80-0xFC |
Second byte of double-byte representation. |
|
Double-byte Space |
Double-byte Underscore |
Double-byte Percent |
|
0x8140 |
0x8151 |
0x8193 |
Note that although this graphic shows data at second byte 0x7F, there is none, as documented in the Shift-JIS encoding table (see “Shift-JIS Encoding” on page 165).
The next figure (“Shift-JIS Encoding: Detailed View” on page 167) shows a more detailed view of the Shift-JIS encoding. The shaded regions show the JIS X 0208 area, the Gaiji area, and the IBM‑defined character area. Observe that only the range 0x8000-0xFFFF is shown.
This figure illustrates the following:
