# 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.
