In addition to the standard [[JIS X 0201]]:1997 and [[JIS X 0208]]:1997 characters, Windows-31J includes several JIS X 0208 extensions, namely "[[JIS X 0208#0x2D|NEC special characters]] (Row 13), NEC selection of IBM extensions (Rows 89 to 92), and IBM extensions (Rows 115 to 119)",<ref name="iana31j" /> in addition to setting some encoding space aside for [[Private Use Areas#Private-use characters in other character sets|end user definition]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://archives.miloush.net/michkap/archive/2007/05/26/2901371.html | title=The PUA outside of Unicode | author=Kaplan, Michael S | work=Sorting it all out | date=2007-05-26}}</ref> This also differs from [[Code page 932 (IBM)|IBM-932]], which does not include the NEC extensions or NEC selection.<ref name="ibm932v943"/>

Some of these representations were subsequently used for different characters by [[JIS X 0213]] and [[Shift JIS-2004]]. For example, compare row 89 in JIS X 0213 (beginning 硃, 硎, 硏…)<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.itscj.ipsj.or.jp/iso-ir/233.pdf | titlenumber=233: |title=Japanese Graphic Character Set for Information Interchange, Plane 1 |sponsor=Japanese publisherIndustrial Standards Committee |sponsor-link=IPSJJapanese Industrial Standards Committee |date=2004-04-13}}</ref> to row 89 as used by JIS X 0208 with IBM/NEC extensions (beginning 纊, 褜, 鍈…).<ref>{{cite web | url=https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/jis0208.html | title=Index jis0208 visualization | publisher=WHATWG | work=Encoding Standard |last=van Kesteren |first=Anne |author-link=Anne van Kesteren}}</ref> Consequently, Shift JIS-2004 is not compatible with Windows-31J.

In addition to the above, Microsoft uses different (but visually similar) Unicode mapping for several double-byte punctuation characters compared to standard Shift JIS, such as the [[wave dash]] being [[Tilde#Unicode and Shift JIS encoding of wave dash|mapped to U+FF5E]] rather than U+301C,<ref name="w3cjpprof">{{cite web | url = https://www.w3.org/TR/japanese-xml/#ambiguity_of_yen | title = Ambiguities in conversion from Shift-JIS to Unicode (Non-Normative) | work = XML Japanese Profile | publisher=W3C}}</ref> which is followed by ibm-943_P15A-2003<ref>{{cite web | url=http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/convexp?conv=ibm-943_P15A-2003&b=81&s=ALL#layout | title=Converter Explorer: ibm-943_P15A-2003: start byte 0x81 | publisher=International Components for Unicode | work=ICU Demonstration}}</ref> but not ibm-943_P130-1999,<ref>{{cite web | url=http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/convexp?conv=ibm-943_P130-1999&b=81&s=ALL#layout | title=Converter Explorer: ibm-943_P130-1999: start byte 0x81 | publisher=International Components for Unicode | work=ICU Demonstration}}</ref> and using different mapping for the double byte backslash.<ref name="w3cjpprof" />
