🌸 NAME 🌸

sjisconv β€” bestie, this lil filter converts a TeX document that's in SJIS encoding into its preprocessed form πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

sjisconv < infile > outfile

like. it reads from stdin, it writes to stdout, that's the whole vibe πŸ¦‹


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the situation. SJIS encoding for Japanese lowkey uses the characters {, }, and \ β€” and those three are literally the characters that mean something special in TeX documents. it's giving chaos. it's giving "why are you like this" 😭

so after you process a LaTeX 2e document that contains SJIS characters with sjisconv, you need not care about these special characters anymore. not even a little. they're handled. periodt πŸ‘‘

this filter is part of the CJK macro package for LaTeX 2e. it's iconic, it's canon, it's doing its job 🫢

heads up bestie: this is a filter, so it's all about the pipes β€” feed it infile, catch outfile. no flags, no fuss, just vibes 🌈
