$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.
