The Japanese Industrial Standard (or JIS) specifies a standard set of Japanese character sets. The most common such character set contains 6,879 characters known as JIS X 0208-1990. ISO 2022 defines a set of encoding mechanisms for sending JIS data over transmission mediums that only support 7-bit data.
