NAME
     gb2jis - convert GuoBiao Hanzi to JIS Kanji

SYNOPSYS
     gb2jis [ -hjespi ] [ filename...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     gb2jis  converts  GB2312-80  and  GB8565-88 characters to JISX0208-1983 and
     JISX0212-1990 characters.	GB2312-80 (^[$A), GB2312-80 + GB8565-88 (^[$(E),
     and Chinese-EUC (8-bit GuoBiao) are available for Hanzi code.

OPTIONS
     -h      Translate HZ-encoding.  Regard ~{ as ^[$A and ~} as ^[(B for input.

     -j      Do not use JISX0212-1990.

     -e      Use Japanese-EUC for output.  (include -j)

     -s      Use Shift-JIS for output.	(include -j)

     -p      Use UZPJ for unprintable characters in output.

     -i      Force to flush output characters one by one.  This is  the  default
	     when output is a tty.

UZPJ
     UZPJ  is  a  description  method of Chinese syllables.  Any syllable is de-
     scribed by two letters.  First letter represents its consonant  and  second
     letter  its  vowel.   Tones are represented by four combinations of big and
     small letters, where big ones are considered as high-tone.

     We can translate UZPJ letters into ordinary Pinyin.  The  first  letter  is
     equal  to the same Pinyin letter except I, U, and V for ch, sh, and zh, re-
     spectively.  The second letter is translated by the table below:

     |A a   |B an  |C ang |D ai  |E e	|F en  |G eng |H ei  |I i   |
     |J in  |K ing |L ie  |M iao |N iu	|O o   |P ou  |Q ong |R ao  |
     |S uo  |T uan |U u   |V un  |W ui	|X ia  |Y ian |Z iang|^ ^   |

     except the following combinations (":" means dieresis).

     |AA a     |AG ang	 |AN an    |EE e     |EG eng   |EN en	 |
     |ER er    |GX gua	 |GY guai  |GZ guang |HK hng   |HM hm	 |
     |HX hua   |HY huai  |HZ huang |IX chua  |IY chuai |IZ chuang|
     |JQ jiong |JW jue	 |KX kua   |KY kuai  |KZ kuang |LF lu:	 |
     |LW lu:e  |NO nu:	 |NW nu:e  |NX n     |OG ng    |OO o	 |
     |QQ qiong |QW que	 |RX rua   |UX shua  |UY shuai |UZ shuang|
     |VX zhua  |VY zhuai |VZ zhuang|XQ xiong |XW xue   |YW yue	 |

     Tone mark is decided by the rule below.

	    macron	when both letters are big
	    acute	when first letter is small and second big
	    caron	when both letters are small
	    grave	when first letter is big and second small
	    circumflex	when second letter is "^"

BUGS
     A few mistakes may be left on the conversion table.
