Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
As one who works with mostly Japanese software, it would be a huge help if we had a way to have the String analyzer look for SJIS encode text instead of just ascii/utf8
Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
If its not possible, maybe a creating a plugin that could detect a variety of text encoding would be helpful.
As referring back and forth between a hex editor and BN can cause quite a headache.

Research direction
Start by locating the String analyzer implementation and its existing ASCII/UTF-8 handling in the Binary Ninja API. Determine whether SJIS support belongs in the analyzer or as a plugin, then define coverage and validation for Japanese text; the issue names no files or tests, so scope needs maintainer clarification.
