59.\"The

61.\"encoding is provided for compatibility with
62.\".Ux

69.\".Pp
70.Nm EUC
71implements a system of 4 multibyte codesets.
72A multibyte character in the first codeset consists of
73.Ar len1
74bytes starting with a byte in the range of 0x00 to 0x7f.
75To allow use of ASCII,
76.Ar len1
77is always 1.
78A multibyte character in the second codeset consists of
79.Ar len2
80bytes starting with a byte in the range of 0x80-0xff excluding 0x8e and 0x8f.
81A multibyte character in the third codeset consists of
82.Ar len3
83bytes starting with the byte 0x8e.
84A multibyte character in the fourth codeset consists of
85.Ar len4
86bytes starting with the byte 0x8f.
87.Pp
88The
89.Va wchar_t
90encoding of
91.Nm EUC
92multibyte characters is dependent on the
93.Ar len
94and
95.Ar mask
96arguments.
97First, the bytes are moved into a
98.Va wchar_t
99as follows:
100.Bd -literal
101byte0 << ((\fIlen\fPN-1) * 8) | byte1 << ((\fIlen\fPN-2) * 8) | ... | byte\fIlen\fPN-1
102.Ed
103.Pp
104The result is then ANDed with
105.Ar ~mask
106and ORed with
107.Ar maskN .
108Codesets 2 and 3 are special in that the leading byte (0x8e or 0x8f) is
109first removed and the
110.Ar lenN
111argument is reduced by 1.
112.Pp
113For example, the
114.Li ja_JP.eucJP
115locale has the following
116.Ev VARIABLE
117line:
118.Bd -literal
119VARIABLE	1 0x0000 2 0x8080 2 0x0080 3 0x8000 0x8080
120.Ed
121.Pp
122Codeset 1 consists of the values 0x0000 - 0x007f.
123.Pp
124Codeset 2 consists of the values who have the bits 0x8080 set.
125.Pp
126Codeset 3 consists of the values 0x0080 - 0x00ff.
127.Pp
128Codeset 4 consists of the values 0x8000 - 0xff7f excluding the values
129which have the 0x0080 bit set.
130.Pp
131Notice that the global
132.Ar mask
133is set to 0x8080, this implies that from those 2 bits the codeset can
134be determined.
