#33793 [Asn->Bgs]: Mojibake produced when converting utf-8 to sjis with certain characters

ID: 33793 Updated by: moriyoshi@php.net Reported By: lars dot jensen at careercross dot com -Status: Assigned +Status: Bogus Bug Type: mbstring related Operating System: FreeBSD 5.3 PHP Version: 5.1.0-dev Assigned To: moriyoshi New Comment: This is not a bug. The character that corresponds to the codepoint U#3231 is not contained by the coded character set called "Shift_JIS". Instead, another similar coded character set "CP932", which is often mistaken for "Shift_JIS" because of some historical reasons, contains that character. Probably your problem is solved by simply specifying "CP932" in every place of "SJIS" .
