NAME

eucKR - A character encoding system (codeset) for Korean

DESCRIPTION

EUC (Extended UNIX Code) is a codeset extended by AT&T Bell Laboratories for use in various countries in the world. Korean EUC is the EUC codeset for representing Korean data. The encoding of Korean EUC (eucKR) is currently identical to that of the DEC Korean codeset (see deckorean(5)). Codeset Conversion The following codeset converter pairs are available for converting Korean characters between eucKR and other encoding formats. Refer to iconv_intro(5) for an introduction to codeset conversion. For more information about the other codeset for which eucKR is the input or output, see the reference page specified in the list item. · deckorean_eucKR, eucKR_deckorean Converting from and to the DEC Korean codeset: deckorean(5). Because DEC Korean is currently identical to Korean Extended UNIX Code, this converter is not useful. · ISO-2022-KR_eucKR, eucKR_ISO-2022-KR Converting from and to the ISO 2022 Korean codeset: iso2022(5). Font Support for Korean EUC For both display devices and printers, the operating system supports the Korean EUC codeset through DEC Korean fonts. See deckorean(5) for information about Korean bitmap and PostScript fonts.
