NAME
    Encode::KR - Korean Encodings

SYNOPSIS
        use Encode qw/encode decode/;

        $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.
