Encode::KR - Korean Encodings

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

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

Canonical Alias Description

To find how to use this module in detail, see Encode.

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.
