Subject: Are Shogi Kanji in JIS?

I've been trying to locate the Kanji used in Shogi for the pieces
etc. in JIS and Japanese dictionaries, but with little success.
There are also the calligraphic kanji on the actual pieces.

I've spent a little time with programs like JDIC, and have several
Japanese shogi, kanji, and JIS books, but am not fluent (yet) in
Japanese dictionary lookup.  A romanji-kanji lookup program might do
the trick.  I think these are all commercial programs though.

Any info appreciated.
