The test used four code pages from ftp://www.unicode.org/ . The
page for JIS0202 is for "JIS X 0201 (1976) to Unicode 1.1". The
code page for SHIFTJIS says that
# This table contains the data the Unicode Consortium has on how
# Shift-JIS (a combination of JIS 0201 and JIS 0208) maps into Unicode"
and is dated 8 March 1994.
The code page for JIS0212 is for "JIS X 0212 (1990)".
This JIS0208 test uses a code page for "JIS X 0208 (1990)".

Hex under "IN" is input to a conversion. Hex in the "CHECK" column
is the expected output. Hex under the "OUT" column is the actual output
using a 1.3 or 1.4 JDK.

The tests and code pages are attached. These problems were also
reported in 4296969. However, 4296969 reports a host of problems.
Not all of the "problems" reported in 4296969 are, in my
opinion, legitimate. This bug is submitted to keep real bugs
from getting buried.
