1. Unicode http//www.unicode.org
1.1 What is Unicode?

• Unicode provides a unique number for every
  character,
• no matter what the platform,
• no matter what the program,
• no matter what the language.

Unique Number
A or ?

1.2 Why Unicode?
People in different countries use different
characters to represent the words of their
native languages.
1)ISO represents 8-bit character set. This
isUnicode .

• It is impossible to store text with characters
  from different character sets in the same
  document.

• As long as every document has its own
  characters, and recognition of character set is
  not automatic, manual user intervention is
  inevitable.

1.3 Unicode is changing all that!

• The Unicode Standard has been adopted by such
  industry leaders as
• Apple, HP, IBM, JustSystem, Microsoft,
  Oracle, SAP, Sun, Sybase,
• Unisys and many others.

• Unicode is required by modern standards such as
  XML, Java, LDAP, CORBA, WML, etc.

• Incorporating Unicode into client-server or
  multi-tiered applications and websites offers
  significant cost savings over the use of legacy
  character sets.

hin/faq/qa8.html
2.1 History of Hangul Code
In 1997, Korean standard body made a rather
drastic change in the naming scheme of standards
for information exchange and processing. What
used to be referred to as KS C 56xx - KS C 59xx
were renamed as KS X xxxx. The following
summarizes the change.

• KS C 5601 -gt KS X 1001 The most widely used
  coded character set
• KS C 5657 -gt KS X 1002 Additional
  characters for information
• 
  exchange
• KS C 5636 -gt KS X 1003 Korean version of
  ISO 646/US-ASCII
• KS C 5620 -gt KS X 1004 ISO/IEC 2022
• KS C 5700 -gt KS X 1005-1 Unicode 2.0/ISO-10646
• KS C 5697 -gt KS X 1023 ISO 2375
• KS C 5861 -gt KS X 2901 Korean Unix

2.2. What is Hangul Code?

• Korean Alphabetic
• ??????????????
• ??????????
• ?????

• Classified into 3 types
• WanSungHyung(built-in)
• assigned code per character
• ChoHabHyung (combined)
• assigned code as a Initial, medium, and final
• sound separately
• TongHabHyung (Unified)

• integrated
  Wansunghyung with Chohabhyung

2.3 Microsoft UHC (Unified Hangul Code)
KSC-5601 is a basic Wansunghyung(built-in) code
thats comprised of 2350 characters. Due to
limitation to numbers of characters, Microsoft
introduced Unified Hangul Code. Microsoft Windows
95/NT use UHC ( in case of NT 4.0, all internal
processings are done in Unicode, but on the
surface, it used UHC).

http//pantheon.cis.yale.edu/jshin/faq/qa9.html

  outlook Express, etc)
• Selecting MIME encoding (base 64, or quoted
  pritable)

27
6.2 Considerations in E-mailing

• Dont use Korean in the subject
• If you cant input Korean in E-mailing, use
  Hangul editor and send a file attached.
• Use cvt8.exe to converse codes if you cant see
  mail in Korean
• http//ain.icube.co.kr/jhlee/cvt8.html

28
6.3 Reason for Hangul Mail Problem

• It may not be broken data but be a CODE problem.
• E-mail does not guarantee 8 bit data
  transfer. But Hangul sent in 8 bit code, such as
  KS-WanSungHyung can be broken.
• So the way of send as conversing Hangul 8
  bit to 7 bit is used.
• (code conversion in Mail server, code
  conversion in Mail User Agent)
