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.
