Japanese Keyboard (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The Japanese keyboard layout is more complex than other keyboard layouts because of the language complexities. Japanese keyboards, which are available for many hardware platforms, are based on IBM and NEC designs. The BSP_KEYBD_JPN2 setting uses the IBM keyboard, which is the default. The BSP_KEYBD_JPN1 setting uses the NEC keyboard. You can create either keyboard by linking to the Jpn1 or Jpn2 libraries in the %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Oak\Drivers\Keybd\Scanvk directory.
The following table shows the scan code to virtual key mapping for the Japanese keyboard layout. The at (@) sign, which is included as part of the character, indicates that the character is a dead key. A dead key, when pressed in combination with second Unicode character, results in a third Unicode character. The dead-key tables show the Unicode characters that result from specific dead-key combinations. Virtual keys for the omitted scan codes equal zero (0).

PAUSE (See Below) |
The BREAK key is sent as the sequence E1, left CTRL, NUMLOCK. The keyboard driver must convert the E1+left CTRL sequence to the BREAK key and ignore the NUMLOCK.
The next part of the Japanese keyboard layout is the virtual key to character mapping. This mapping is dependent upon the state of other modifier keys. Some characters are shown as symbols, which are described following these tables. The processing of virtual keys should be performed in the order in which the following tables are ordered.
The following table shows the characters that should be generated for each virtual key, alone and in combination with modifier keys.
