The code page 932 is a character encoding of the Windows operating system that was introduced with Windows 3.1 . She is registered with the IANA as Windows-31J .
The code page is an extension of the Shift JIS character set and encodes additional circled and bracketed characters, Roman numerals, mathematical characters and additional Kanji under the leading bytes 87 hex , ED hex , EE hex , FA hex , FB hex and FC hex .
When the Shift-JIS character set was created in 1982, Microsoft introduced this character set to its products. A modified version of this character set was used for the IBM 5550 in 1983 . At the same time, another version was introduced for the NEC PC-9800 series computers. When Microsoft developed the Japanese version of Windows 3.1, it decided to incorporate the extra characters from both the NEC and IBM computers into their character set and use them in Windows.
