Templates for characters added in JIS2004

HULFT treats the characters added to JIS2004 as custom characters. Therefore, when carrying out Code Conversion, users should incorporate the JIS2004 characters into custom character tables. Among the characters that are newly added to JIS level 3 and JIS level 4, HULFT offers template sample files of the characters prepared by Shift-JIS/UTF-8. Copy the required part onto the Custom Character Table file to use the characters.

The Custom Character Template Sample file for additional characters in JIS2004 is stored in "HULPATH\gtf."
