encoding issue - dipstick - 03-12-2023

Trying to crack a seemingly simple hash, the password is just "あ".
The thing is, it's always converted to Shift JIS first on the website, then hashed.
No matter what I try, it's never outputting the proper encoding and never cracking the hash.
Converting it in the file, and using hashcat's encoding to/from settings didn't help.

The hash is tripcode (16000).

The demo here outputs the proper hash:

Any ideas? Am I missing something basic?

I think SJIS is two-byte characters. Have you tried
hashcat -a3 -m16000 hash ?b?b

Also, have a look at https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/issues/1526

Sure, I tried both before posting.
Tried everything in the github issue again & with different encodings for fun. Still nothing.

It seems to be 3 bytes actually:
