Code Structure
JIS X 0208 codes are fundamentally two bytes of either seven or eight bits. However, one graphic character (図形文字, zukei moji?), “space”, and every control character (制御文字, seigyo moji?) is represented with a one-byte code. In order to represent code points, column/line numbers and kuten (区点?) numbers are used. For a way to identify a character without depending on a code, character names are used.
