Encode::KR(3) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Encode::KR(3) 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", $euc_kr); # ditto DESCRIPTION This module implements Korean charset encodings. Encodings supported are as follows. Canonical Alias Description -------------------------------------------------------------------- euc-kr /\beuc.*kr$/i EUC (Extended Unix Character) /\bkr.*euc$/i ksc5601-raw Korean standard code set(7,n,1 builtins) (as is) cp949 /(?:x-)?uhc$/i /(?:x-)?windows-949$/i /\bks_c_5601-1987$/i Code Page 949 (EUC-KR + 8,822 (additional Hangul syllables) MacKorean EUC-KR + Apple Vendor Mappings johab JOHAB A supplementary encoding(3,n) defined in(1,8) Annex 3 of KS X 1001:1998 iso-2022-kr iso-2022-kr [RFC1557] -------------------------------------------------------------------- To find how to use this module in(1,8) detail, see Encode. 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(7,n,1 builtins); 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. SEE ALSO Encode perl v5.8.5 2001-09-21 Encode::KR(3)
