NAME

Encode::KR - Korean Encodings

SYNOPSIS


    use Encode qw/encode decode/;

    $utf8   = decode("euc-kr", $euc_kr); # ditto



DESCRIPTION

This module implements Korean charset encodings. Encodings supported are as follows.

  Canonical   Alias             Description

  euc-kr      /\beuc.*kr$/i     EUC (Extended Unix Character)

              /\bkr.*euc$/i

  ksc5601-raw                   Korean standard code set (as is)

  cp949       /(?:x-)?uhc$/i

              /(?:x-)?windows-949$/i

              /\bks_c_5601-1987$/i

BUGS

When you see "charset=ks_c_5601-1987" on mails and web pages, they really mean ``cp949'' encodings. To fix that, the following aliases are set;

  qr/(?:x-)?uhc$/i         => '"cp949"'

  qr/(?:x-)?windows-949$/i => '"cp949"'

  qr/ks_c_5601-1987$/i     => '"cp949"'



The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See

<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>

to find out why it is implemented that way.
