In computing, JIS encoding refers to several Japanese Industrial Standards for encoding the Japanese language. Strictly speaking, the term means either:
- A set of standard character sets for Japanese, notably:
- JIS X 0201 , the Japanese version of ISO 646 ( ASCII)
- JIS X 0208 , the most common kanji character set containing 6,879 kanji
- JIS X 0202 (also known as ISO-2022-JP), a set of encoding mechanisms for sending JIS data over transmission mediums that only support 7-bit data.
In practice, "JIS encoding" usually refers to JIS X 0208 data encoded with JIS X 0202.
