We have two lists that run (more or less) in Japanese. They use JIS coding
and they can switch back and forth between Kanji and ASCII characters.  I
will send you directly our help file on Japanese.
 
The switch back and forth between Kanji and ASCII is controlled by an escape
sequence.  In order for this to work with LISTSERV lists, the "Translate=
No" list keyword must be specified.  The default of "Translate= Yes" causes
LISTSERV to delete control characters from the messages.  Escape sequences
do not work well when the <esc> codes are deleted.  ;-)
