Subject: Question about Shift_JIS mapping table

Hello,

just want to verify whether a rumour is true or not. I've heard that there
in practice exist a number of different mapping tables (four?) between
shift_jis and unicode. Secondly, I've heard that not all the characters used
in Japan in the shift_jis character encoding can be mapped on unicode, or
there is at least no one-on-one mapping. Could you please help me on this
matter?

/regards Johan Troedsson
