Thanks for the hint.

Hm.. it seems to expect 'JIS x0208' Kanji characters that I am
unable to produce.  My original is in utf8, everything iconv
is offering to convert into seems inappropriate:

for i in $(iconv -l | grep -i jis | sed -e 's,//$,,'); do 
	echo "私は馬鹿です。" | iconv -f UTF8 -t $i - | \
		./kakasi -i jis -H; 
done

..only produces unreadable output in a UTF8 xterm.
Maybe I am not getting UTF8 back.. but what is it I get back?

Same for
for i in $(iconv -l | grep -i euc | sed -e 's,//$,,'); do 
	echo "私は馬鹿です。" | iconv -f UTF8 -t $i - | \
		./kakasi -i euc -H; 
done
