EUC-JP was, of course, designed for Japanese, so includes all the essential Japanese characters:

  • 22/64 of CJK Symbols and Punctuation
  • 87/96 of Hiragana
  • 90/96 of Katakana
  • 12157/20992 of CJK Unified Ideographs [Kanji]
  • 155/240 of Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms

But it supports Western scripts as well:

  • 128/128 of Basic Latin [ASCII]
  • 82/128 of Latin-1 Supplement
  • 120/128 of Latin Extended-A
  • 17/208 of Latin Extended-B
  • 6/80 of Spacing Modifier Letters
  • 71/144 of Greek and Coptic
  • 92/256 of Cyrillic
  • 15/112 of General Punctuation
  • 4/80 of Letterlike Symbols
  • 6/112 of Arrows
  • 32/256 of Mathematical Operators
  • 1/256 of Miscellaneous Technical
  • 32/128 of Box Drawing
  • 12/96 of Geometric Shapes
  • 7/256 of Miscellaneous Symbols

    !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[]^_ `abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~¡¢£¤¦§¨©ª¬®¯°±´¶¸º¿ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍ ÎÏÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõö÷øùúûüýþÿĀāĂ㥹ĆćĈĉĊċČčĎ ďĐđĒēĖėĘęĚěĜĝĞğĠġĢĤĥĦħĨĩĪīĮįİıIJijĴĵĶķĸĹĺĻļĽľĿŀŁłŃńŅņŇňʼnŊŋŌōŐőŒœŔŕ ŖŗŘřŚśŜŝŞşŠšŢţŤťŦŧŨũŪūŬŭŮůŰűŲųŴŵŶŷŸŹźŻżŽžǍǎǏǐǑǒǓǔǕǖǗǘǙǚǛǜǵˇ˘˙˚ ˛˝΄΅ΆΈΉΊΌΎΏΐΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨΩΪΫάέήίΰαβγδεζηθικλμνξοπρςστυ φχψωϊϋόύώЁЂЃЄЅІЇЈЉЊЋЌЎЏАБВГДЕЖЗИЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЪЫЬЭЮЯабвгдежзи йклмнопрстуфхцчшщъыьэюяёђѓєѕіїјљњћќўџ‐―‖‘’“”†‡‥…‰′″※℃№™Å←↑→↓⇒⇔ ∀∂∃∇∈∋−√∝∞∠∧∨∩∪∫∬∴∵∽≒≠≡≦≧≪≫⊂⊃⊆⊇⊥⌒─━│┃┌┏┐┓└┗┘┛├┝┠┣┤┥┨┫┬┯┰┳┴┷┸┻┼ ┿╂╋■□▲△▼▽◆◇○◎●◯★☆♀♂♪♭♯ 

So you could use EUC-JP to write not only Japanese, but also English, Spanish, French, German, Greek, Russian, etc. (but not Arabic or Hebrew).

It's hard to answer the question of exactly which languages are "supported" because of ambiguities about exactly which characters are required for a language (e.g., Does Dutch need the IJ ligature, or is "IJ" adequate? Are "café" and "jalapeño" English words?)
