No, that's the APL exponential symbol. The question is about this
one, from the *second* line of the sig: ~
Out of your list, the Mac Unicode table for Japanese fonts shows only
U+00D7 as a viewable character. This is also the only math symbol
that can be entered as kakeru. It is at code point 817E in Shift-JIS.
Now to answer the original question, I just need to get out the
mapping table...Nope, not in that one...Ah, here it is, in
JIS0208.txt. Yes,
817E SJIS
215F JIS
00D7 Unicode
are all the same character.
