Products7-bit character encoding for Roman set

Code page 895 (also identified as CCSID 895) is a 7-bit character encoding and serves as Japan's official ISO 646 variant. It encodes the Roman character set, corresponding to the left half of the JIS X 0201 Japanese Standard. This code page is alternatively referred to as Japan 7-Bit Latin, JISCII, JIS Roman, JIS C6220-1969-ro, ISO646-JP, or Japanese-Roman. Its ISO-IR designation number is 14.

In IBM's collection of code pages, it works alongside code page 896, which handles the Kana set (half-width katakana) from JIS X 0201 with additional characters, and code page 897, representing the 8-bit version of JIS X 0201. Within Unix-like environments, when combined with code pages 896, 952, and 953, it constitutes the four character sets utilized by code page 954, IBM's implementation of EUC-JP.
