CCSID
A CCSID (coded character set identifier) is a 16-bit number that represents a particular character encoding, encoding of a specific code page. For example, Unicode is a code page that has several encoding (so called "transformation") forms, like UT ...
897) is IBM's implementation of the 8-bit form of
JIS X 0201. It includes several additional graphical characters in the C0 control characters area, and the code points in question may be used as control characters or graphical characters depending on the context,
similarly in concept to OEM-US, but with different graphical characters. The C0 rows are shown below.
Amongst IBM's code pages, it accompanies
code page 895, which encodes the
ISO 646 set of JIS X 0201, and

half-width katakana are katakana characters displayed compressed at half their normal width (a 1:2 aspect ratio), instead of the usual square (1:1) aspect ratio. For example, the usual (full-width) form of the katakana ''ka'' is カ while the half-width form is ｶ. ...

code page 301, it makes up the two code-sets of
IBM code page 932 (IBM PC Japan MIX). When combined with the double-byte
code page 941, it makes up
code page 943 (equivalent to Windows-932, although Microsoft uses ASCII mappings for 0x00 though 0x7F). When combined with the double-byte

Code page 1041
Code page 1041 (CCSID 1041) is a superset of code page 897.
It is only used with the double-byte
code page 301. When the two code pages are combined, this makes up the two code-sets of
code page 942 (a superset of
code page 932, made up of code page 897 and code page 301).
