[net.wanted] Japanese Character set information

joemu@tekecs.UUCP (05/30/84)

Does anyone have any information regarding Japanese character set support on
computer systems. All I have is some sketchy information that says it's a
16 bit code and it supports the three main parts of the Japanese language.

Is the english subset (I think it's called Romajii???) the equivelent of
ascii? Does it have all the other non-alphanumeric characters that ascii has?

Any and all information about it would be appreciated!!!
