# NAME

Encode::KR - Korean Encodings

# SYNOPSIS

        use Encode qw/encode decode/;
        $euc_kr = encode("euc-kr", $utf8);   # loads Encode::KR implicitly
        $utf8   = decode("euc-kr", $euc_kr); # ditto

# DESCRIPTION

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

# 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.
