jp response

[davem14]

The default whois response for .jp TLD (whois server: whois.jprs.jp) contains Japanese characters. It is really not readable and is not parsed well using likexian/whois-parser. Note: Adding the "/e" suffix to the query gives English charcters only.

example - google.jp vs google.jp/e: google.jp

Hello @davem14 This is as expected, for .jp, please try:

whois -j google.jp/e
