Even today, Japanese text online and elsewhere uses a variety of encodings. It's sometimes a frustrating experience. Compared to other languages, it is common to see non-Unicode encodings. In particular, Shift JIS (actually, the Windows-specific variant called Windows-932, which is incompatible with JIS X 0213:2004, called "Shift JIS 2004". Old enough Unix and Linux servers used EUC-JP, and Mac OS has its own encoding).
