I'm familiar with Shift-JIS from the C compiler days.

D is designed to internally be all UTF-8, and the runtime code all assumes
UTF-8. I recommend programming in such a way that user input is converted from
Shift-JIS to UTF-8, then all processing is done in terms of UTF-8, then the
output is converted to Shift-JIS.
