Encode::KR - Korean Encodings
| Use Case | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Encode to EUC-KR | encode("euc-kr", $utf8) | Convert Perl string to EUC-KR bytes |
| Decode from EUC-KR | decode("euc-kr", $bytes) | Convert EUC-KR bytes to Perl string |
| Encode to CP949 | encode("cp949", $utf8) | Windows-949 code page with extra Hangul |
| Encode to MacKorean | encode("MacKorean", $utf8) | EUC-KR with Apple vendor mappings |
| Encode to Johab | encode("johab", $utf8) | KS X 1001:1998 Annex 3 encoding |
| Encode to ISO-2022-KR | encode("iso-2022-kr", $utf8) | RFC1557 encoding |
use Encode qw/encode decode/;
$euc_kr = encode("euc-kr", $utf8); # loads Encode::KR implicitly
$utf8 = decode("euc-kr", $euc_kr); # ditto
This module implements Korean charset encodings. Encodings supported are as follows.
Canonical Alias Description
--------------------------------------------------------------------
euc-kr /\beuc.*kr$/i EUC (Extended Unix Character)
/\bkr.*euc$/i
ksc5601-raw Korean standard code set (as is)
cp949 /(?:x-)?uhc$/i
/(?:x-)?windows-949$/i
/\bks_c_5601-1987$/i
Code Page 949 (EUC-KR + 8,822
(additional Hangul syllables)
MacKorean EUC-KR + Apple Vendor Mappings
johab JOHAB A supplementary encoding defined in
Annex 3 of KS X 1001:1998
iso-2022-kr iso-2022-kr [RFC1557]

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.
