NAME
       deckorean - A character encoding system (codeset) for Korean

DESCRIPTION
       The  DEC Korean (deckorean) codeset consists of the following character
       sets: ASCII KSC 5601-1987

       For the symbols and ideographic characters defined in the KSC 5601-1987
       character  set,	DEC  Korean uses 2-byte data representation. For ASCII
       characters, DEC Korean uses single-byte 7-bit data representation; that
       is, the most significant bit (MSB) of the byte that represents an ASCII
       character value is always set off. For more information	on  the	 ASCII
       character set, refer to ascii(5).

   KSC 5601-1987 Characters
       KSC  5601-1987  is  a  national	standard that defines a primary set of
       graphic characters for Korean  information  interchange.	 The  standard
       defines	a  character  set  with	 a  total  of 8224 characters that are
       arranged in a code table. The code table has 94 rows, numbered  from  1
       to  94.	Each row has 94 columns, also numbered from 1 to 94. Different
       kinds of characters occupy different areas of the code  table  as  fol‐
       lows:  Special characters: 986 graphic symbols that reside in rows 1 to
       12 Hangul characters: 2350 Korean (Hangul) characters  that  reside  in
       rows  16 to 40 Hanja characters: 4888 Chinese characters that reside in
       rows 42 to 93

   DEC Korean Encoding Values
       To differentiate KSC 5601-1987 codes from ASCII codes, the most signif‐
       icant  bit  (MSB)  of  both the first and the second byte of a KSC 5601
       character value is always set on.

       The value of a KSC 5601 character can be determined from	 its  row  and
       column number as follows:

       1st byte = A0 + Row number
       2nd byte = A0 + Column number

       For  example,  if  a character is positioned at the first column of the
       36th row, its value is CA41, which is calulated as follows:

       1st byte = A0(hex) + 36 = C4 (hex)
       2nd byte = A0(hex) + 01 = A1 (hex)

   Codeset Conversion
       The following codeset converter	pairs  are  available  for  converting
       Korean  characters between deckorean and other encoding formats.	 Refer
       to iconv_intro(5) for an introduction to codeset conversion.  For  more
       information about the other codeset for which deckorean is the input or
       output, see the reference page specified in the list item.  eucKR_deck‐
       orean, deckorean_eucKR

	      Converting  from	and  to	 Korean	 Extended UNIX Code: eucKR(5).
	      UTF-16_deckorean, deckorean_UTF-16

	      Converting from and to UTF-16 format: Unicode(5).	  UCS-4_decko‐
	      rean, deckorean_UCS-4

	      Converting  from	and to UCS-4 format: Unicode(5).  UTF-8_decko‐
	      rean, deckorean_UTF-8

	      Converting from and to UTF-8 format: Unicode(5).

       There are also codeset converters that convert  between	the  Microsoft
       Korean  code-page  format (cp949) used on PC systems and UTF-16, UCS-4,
       and UTF-8 formats. Note that if the UTF-16, UCS-4, or UTF-8 output from
       these  converters  is then converted to DEC Korean, some Hangul charac‐
       ters may be lost. For more information, see code_page(5).

   DEC Korean Fonts
       The operating system provides Korean fonts for both screen display  and
       printers.
