NAME
Korean, korean - Introduction to Korean language support
DESCRIPTION
KS X 1001 is a Korean national standard that defines a set of graphic
characters to be used for information interchange. The operating system
supports this standard with coded character sets, locales, device, and
other kinds of system files. The former name for the Korean national
standard was KS C 5601. Under its old name, the standard was issued in
1982, 1987, and 1992.
The operating system currently supports the KS X 1001 standard as issued in
1992, but does not include the Johab subset of Hangul characters in the DEC
Korean and Korean EUC codesets that are discussed in this reference page.
The standard specifies that support for the Johab subset of Hangul
characters is optional.
Codesets
The operating system supports the following codesets for Korean by means of
locales, codeset converters, or both:
DEC Korean
The string deckorean represents this codeset in the names of locales
and codeset converters. See deckorean(5) for more information.
If Korean character mapping in an input file that you want to convert
to DEC Korean conforms to Version 1.1 of the Unicode standard, you must
preprocess the data by running the UNICODE-1-1-UCS-4_UCS-4 converter
before running the UCS-4_deckorean converter. If the character mapping
of an input file conforms to Version 2.0 or later of the Unicode
standard, this preprocessing step is not necessary.
If the output from the cp949_UTF-8 codeset converter is then converted
to DEC Korean, some Hangul characters may be lost. See code_page(5) for
more information.
Korean EUC (Extended UNIX Code)
The string eucKR represents this codeset in the names of locales and
codeset converters. See eucKR(5) for more information.
UTF-16, UCS-4, and UTF-8
The strings UTF-16, UCS-4, and UTF-8 represent these encoding formats
in the names of locales or codeset converters. See Unicode(5) for more
information.
PC code page
The string cp949 represents this encoding format in the names of
codeset converters. See code_page(5) for more information.
ISO 2022-KR
The string ISO-2022-KR represents this encoding format in the names of
codeset converters. These are special-purpose converters used only by
certain mail applications.
See the i18n_intro(5) reference page for general information about
codesets. See the iconv_intro(5) reference page for a discussion of codeset
converters and how to use them.
Korean Locales
The following list specifies Korean locales for Korea and the codesets they
support:
ko_KR.deckorean, for DEC Korean
ko_KR.eucKR, for Korean EUC
ko_KR.UTF-8, for UTF-8
The ko_KR.deckorean locale has a ko_KR.deckorean@ucs4 variant for use by
applications that need to convert DEC Korean to UCS-4 process code in order
to perform certain character-classification operations. The UTF-8 locale
also uses UCS-4 process code but expects file code to be in UTF-8 format.
You can use the locale command (see locale(1)) to display the names of
locales installed on your system. See i18n_intro(5) for information on
setting locale from the operating system command line.
In the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), you need to set the session
language at login time. Use the Language menu that is accessed from the
Options button of the Login window.
Keyboards, Input Servers, and Input Methods
The operating system supports the VT382-K Korean terminal.
You can use any standard English PC-style keyboard to enter Korean. See
the keyboard(5) reference page for information on loading keyboard mapping
tables (keymaps) for keyboards.
For a Motif environment like CDE, the operating system provides the
dxhangulim and dxim input servers to support Korean input methods. The
dxhangulim input server is started automatically for your CDE session when
you specify Korean as your session language at login time. See
dxhangulim(1X) and dxim(1X) for more information about these input servers.
Korean characters can be entered by the following input methods:
· Hangul
· Hanja
· Row-Column Code
· Phrase Input Method
You select the Korean input method by using a key or key sequence as
follows:
· If you are using a VT382-K terminal:
Compose selects Hangul
Shift+Compose selects Hanja
Ctrl+Compose selects Row-Column
· If you are using any PC-style keyboard:
Shift+Space selects Hangul
Shift+Alt+Space selects Hanja
Ctrl+Alt+Space selects Row-Column
F6 selects Phrase
· If you are using the dxim input server, use F3 to invoke the Korean
input method in combination with F5 to select Hangul. Once in Hangul,
use F6 to switch to Hanja or F7 to switch to Row-Column. Use F5 to
switch back to Hangul. The F12 function key selects Phrase input.
You can customize these key sequences by using the Customization menu of
the dxhangulim or dxim applications.
Fonts for Motif Applications
X or Motif applications require non-ASCII fonts to display Korean
characters. An application can find Korean fonts in either of the
following directories:
· /usr/i18n/lib/X11/fonts/decwin/75dpi, for low resolution display
· /usr/i18n/lib/X11/fonts/decwin/100dpi, for high resolution display
For applications running under CDE, no user commands are necessary to make
Korean fonts available if they are installed on the system or provided
through a font server. For applications running in other environments, you
may need to use the following command to check the font path:
% xset q
If one of the directories in the preceding list is not in the font path,
the following example shows how to add the directory. You can substitute
100dp for 75dpi if you want high resolution display.
% xset +fp /usr/i18n/lib/X11/decwin/75dpi/
% xset fp rehash
Printers
The operating system supports the following Korean printers. The associated
print filter is noted in parentheses following the printer name.
LA380-K (la380kof)
The LA380-K is a Korean graphic line printer.
DL510-KA (dl510kaof)
The DL510-KA is a Korean page printer.
For information on setting up and configuring these printers, refer to the
i18n_printing(5) and lprsetup(8) reference pages.
For information on how to use other kinds of printers to print Korean
characters, see the i18n_printing(5), pcfof(8), and wwpsof(8) reference
pages.
Fonts that support characters defined by the DEC Korean codeset are listed
in the deckorean(5) reference page.
