Ken Lunde of Adobe provides some very nice code to convert between
various encodings for Japanese:

The best way to get a good clue about Japanese character set issues is
to have a look into the excellent book

  Ken Lunde: CJKV Information Processing. O'Reilly & Associates,
  ISBN 1565922247, Paperback, 1128 p., 2nd edition, January 1999.
  Price on Amazon.COM: 51.96 USD

This is after the Unicode and ISO 10646 standard probably the second
most important reference for a character-set guru.
