tlug: JISx0208

[Peter Linsley <plinsley@example.com>]

FYI,

Public review documents for JIS Level 3 and 4 were released
on 7th November 1998 (PDF format, Japanese only):

   http://jcs.aa.tufs.ac.jp/pubrev/index.html

This will bring in a new standard which will render 
JISx0212 virtually obsolete (?) and will sit next to JISx0208 
creating JIS Levels 1,2,3 and 4 in two standards. The new standard
will cover all those unusual kanji used to name things like remote 
villages in Hokkaido, and consists of around 5000 characters; it
will *not* be a supplement set like 0212.

If you know of a character that you have a burning desire to get
included, now is your chance.

Regards,

Pete
