You can see the pattern when you convert to hex.  41377 = A1A1,
and 8481 = 2121.  So, the right side is the JIS X 0208 kuten (1,1),
and the left side is the same thing in EUC.

Since the mapping from JIS to EUC is just JIS + 0x8080, there is
no need to use a table (as there would be if it were Unicode).

You may want the Unicode table, JIS0208.TXT, from unicode.org.
