JIS text with half-width katakana and ASCII characters converted to full-width

Synopsis

JIS(text)

Arguments

text: original text

Description

JIS converts half-width katakana and ASCII characters to full-width equivalent characters, copying all others.

The distinction between half-width and full-width characters is described in http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/.

Note

While in obsolete encodings JIS used to translate between 1-byte and 2-byte characters, this is not the case in UTF-8.

Microsoft Excel Compatibility

For most strings, this function has the same effect as in Excel.

OpenDocument Format (ODF) Compatibility

This function is OpenFormula compatible.
