noun
KuTen code; JIS matrix code
A technical computing term referring to the row-cell encoding used in Japanese Industrial Standards character sets (e.g., JIS X 0208).
JIS漢字コードでは、文字は区点コードで管理される。
In JIS kanji codes, characters are managed by KuTen codes.
JISコード is a broader term for any JIS character encoding, while 区点コード specifically refers to the row-cell (区点) coordinate system within JIS standards.
Compound of 区 (ku, 'ward' or 'section'), 点 (ten, 'point'), and コード (kōdo, 'code'). The term directly describes the encoding method that assigns a row (区) and cell (点) number to each character.
