[[File:Alternative names of JIS X 0213.svg|thumb|Characters which appear in both [[JIS X 0201]] (single byte) and [[JIS X 0208]] / [[JIS X 0213]] (double byte) have both a halfwidth and a fullwidth form in [[Shift JIS]].]]
In the days of [[text mode]] computing, Western characters were normally laid out in a grid on the screen, often 80 columns by 24 or 25 lines. Each character was displayed as a small [[dot matrix]], often about 8 [[pixel]]s wide, and a [[SBCS]] (single-byte character set) was generally used to encode characters of Western languages.
