Is the Japanese version of JISx4061-1996 (Japanese character collation
standard) available online? I need more than just the sample data file,
and I couldn't find it at <http://www.jsa.or.jp/> or via the usual
search methods.

Thank you for the helpful data-file. The collation of hiragana and
katakana is straightforward and easy to understand, but the collation of
the mathematical symbols (e.g. infinity) and non-mathematical symbols
(e.g. the pound sign) is a little unclear (from just the data file, that
is)
