Subject: Re: samples of vertical Japanese writing
William,
Sorry for the delay, but I have been busy here lately. Anyway,
you wrote:
>> Ken: Table 6-7 on p 146 of UJIP, is that complete?
Nope. The following 53 characters represent the basic set of
characters that have vertical variants (31 from Row 1, 10 from Row 4,
and 12 from Row 5):
Row 1: 、。￣＿ー―‐〜‖｜…‥（）〔〕［］｛｝〈〉《》「」『』【】＝
Row 4: ぁぃぅぇぉっゃゅょゎ
Row 5: ァィゥェォッャュョヮヵヶ
A complete table that includes their character
codes is appended below
(also included are five additional characters that have vertical
variants according to JIS X 0208:1997). Anyway, these can be separated
into several categories of changes:
o Simple rotation by 90 degrees clockwise:
￣＿―‐‖｜…‥（）〔〕［］｛｝〈〉《》「」『』【】＝
o Rotate 90 degrees then flip:
ー〜
o Different position in design space:
、。ぁぃぅぇぉっゃゅょゎァィゥェォッャュョヮヵヶ
These 53 characters' vertical variants is more of an industry
standard. JIS X 0208-1990 specified only 24 such characters in Row 1
(the above includes 31). The 7 characters that form this discrepancy
are:
￣＿―‐‖｜‥
To my surprise, JIS X 0208-1990 doesn't specify that small kana have
vertical variants.
JIS X 0208:1997 made further changes to JIS X 0208-1990, as
follows:
o The following additional characters have vertical variants:
：―‥‘’“”
(The first and last four are in additional to the 53 specified in
industry -- the second and third are in the set of 53 characters.)
o Specified that 22 mall kana (10 hiragana and 12 katakana) have
vertical variants.
I know that the above is probably more detail than you cared
to know about, but it is complete and accurate.
Regards...
