I found some time to look into this, and it appears that your encoding
deals with "JIS X 0201 Katakana", which I also found with the name
"JIS X 0201 (GR)".

I know you already found a name, but ... if your codec is indeed
*only* JISX 0201 Katakana, then why not name it that way
(e.g. "jisx-0201-katakana").
