provided. The IBM Kanji character attribute (described following) is an example of
an alternative format.
The alternative format must be expressed as (null flag, count, string), where the
first byte is a null flag indicator of the alternative string form, the second byte
contains an integer value representing the length of the control string, and the third
and subsequent bytes represent the value of the control string.
The minimum length for a control string is 1 byte, and the maximum length is 20
bytes. If the procedure receives a zero-length control string, the results are
undefined.
When the control string values are not user-supplied, the default values used for
control strings expressed in the original null-delimited format are as follows:
IBM Kanji [%H0E,null]
JEF (Fujitsu) Kanji [%H88,null]
JIS X0208 Kanji [%H1B, %H24,%H42,null]
When the control string values are not user-supplied, the default values used for
control strings expressed in the alternative format are as follows:
IBM Kanji
