NEC special character tables
In DataMagic, no external character table is available by default. (See DataMagic Reference Manual) However, tables for frequently used NEC special characters are offered as templates. Include the template file you want to use in the existing external character table file.
The available NEC special character table template files can be found in the locations below.
- In Windows:
-
The gtf folder in the shared data storage folder
- In UNIX:

The following example shows how to convert EUC encoding to Shift JIS encoding.
1. Copy the contents of the table file for EUC to Shift JIS conversion (ktitos.txt) to the clipboard.
Contents of the table (ktetos.txt)
# # EUC -> SHIFT-JIS # # default output code defaultcode=0x81a0 #incode #outcode #EUC SHIFT-JIS 0xADA1 0x8740# ① 0xADA2 0x8741# ② 0xADA3 0x8742# ③ ・ ・ ・ ・
* Copy the bold text.
* Lines starting with a hash mark (#) are comment lines.
2. Paste the contents copied in step 1 into the external character table file for EUC to Shift JIS conversion (see Table 5.7).
Contents of the external character table file (gtitos.txt)
# # EUC -> SHIFT-JIS # defaultcode=0x81a0 #incode #outcode 0x676B 0xFBFC 0x5294 0xFA61 0x576B 0x8BA7 0xADA1 0x8740# ① 0xADA2 0x8741# ② 0xADA3 0x8742# ③ ・ ・ ・ ・
* The bold text is the pasted contents.
* Lines starting with a hash mark (#) are comment lines.
3. Create the file for external character table expansion.
utledgtfextd -i es
4. Check the expansion file contents in the standard output.
utledgtfextd -o es
