The iso-2022-jp coding system in Emacs 22.2 seems to fail to encode
certain characters which are in fact valid in that coding system. For
example, Unicode character U+2606 WHITE STAR encodes to 0x21 0x79 in
ISO-2022-JP (JIS X 0208), but when one attempts to save a buffer
containing this character, Emacs complains about being unable to encode
that character, and prompts the user to select a different coding system.
The same is true for U+266A EIGHTH NOTE (0x22 0x76), and possibly others.
I'd like to be able to offer a patch, but I haven't been able to locate
where the encoding mappings are defined in the Emacs source code. If you
can point me in the right direction, I'll see what I can do.

What does Emacs tell about these characters if you go to them and type
"C-u C-x ="? Compare that to what Emacs displays for the same
characters in an iso-2022-jp encoded file, and you might have a hint
as to the nature of the problem.

More information was requested three years ago, but apparently wasn't
given, so I'm closing this bug report. Please reopen if it's still
valid.
