There are several kind of character set used in Japan. His codec
supports only two character set called JIS X 0201 and 0208.  Tamito's
codec supports other character sets such as JIS X 0212 or Microsoft's
extended charactor set called cp932.

I'm not sure this is effective or not, though. Mappling tables under
current implementation are well condensed. Anyway, I'll try to reduce
size.
