ISO 2022 JIS Japanese encoding fails about js-codepage HOT 2 OPEN

Thanks for sharing! The ISO 2022 codepages 5022{0,1,2,5,7} are definitely incorrect -- hiragana require a control sequence and those are not currently supported. Based on ECMA-35, the first kana "こ" should be encoded as 1B 24 42 24 33 (1B 24 42 to switch to the JIS double byte encoding, 24 for the Hiragana subset and 43 for the actual character). This will require a direct implementation of control sequences and a new set of LUTs for the various character subsets.

PS: All of the generated codepages with source listed as "Windows 7" are assumed to either be single-byte or double-byte. Clearly that wasn't the case here.

Another example that also fails:

Code

import cptable from "codepage";

cptable.utils.encode(50220, "ーム")

Expected output

Uint8Array(10) [27, 36, 66, 33, 60, 37, 96, 27, 40, 66]

Actual output

Uint8Array(2) [0, 0]
