3 JIS X0208–1990

In JIS X0208–1990, the relation of decimal and character is obtained as following. Let C₁ and C₂ be the decimal values of the 1^st byte and the 2^nd byte code for a character, then the range of decimal code for both C₁ and C₂ is [33,127] and the decimal value of the character is C₁*256+C₂. Let n be a decimal value. If there is no character assigned for n in JIS X0208, then the external representation of $Char(n) will be the same as the Japanese space, or $Char(8481).
