JIS X 0213 is a

Japanese Industrial Standard defining coded character sets for encoding the characters used in Japan. This standard extends JIS X 0208. The first version was published in 2000 and revised in 2004 (JIS2004) and 2012.[1][2][3][4]
As well as adding a number of special characters, characters with diacritic marks, etc., it included an additional 3,625 kanji. The full name of the standard is 7-bit and 8-bit double byte coded extended KANJI sets for information interchange (7ビット及び8ビットの2バイト情報交換用符号化拡張漢字集合, Nana-Bitto Oyobi Hachi-Bitto no Ni-Baito Jōhō Kōkan'yō Fugōka Kakuchō Kanji Shūgō).

JIS X 0213 has two "planes" (94×94 character tables). Plane 1 is a superset of JIS X 0208 containing kanji sets level 1 to 3 and non-kanji characters such as Hiragana, Katakana (including letters used to write the Ainu language), Latin, Greek and Cyrillic alphabets, digits, symbols and so on. Plane 2 contains only level 4 kanji set. Total number of the defined characters is 11,233. Each character is capable of being encoded in two bytes.

This standard largely replaced the rarely used JIS X 0212-1990 "supplementary" standard, which included 5,801 kanji and 266 non-kanji. Of the additional 3,695 kanji in JIS X 0213, all but 952 were already in JIS X 0212.

JIS X 0213 defines several 7-bit and 8-bit encodings including

ISO/IEC 10646 (Unicode
) for each character.

Unicode version 3.2 incorporated all characters of JIS X 0213 except for the characters that could be represented using

Basic Multilingual Plane
cannot handle all of the JIS X 0213 characters. This is not an issue for most applications, however.

Glyph variants changed by the 2004 edition (click to enlarge).

The 2004 edition of JIS X 0213 changed the recommended renderings of 168 kanji.[5] Ten additional kanji were added in JIS X 0213:2004.[6]
