Description

We should do this in the same time when we rewrite for performacne tuning so we
can reduce the size also. Also, we need to add EUDC to PUA mapping

Windows-949 to Unicode converter is very important for Korean users
because in Korean MS-Windows where Windows-949 is used, most users
are liable to violate Korean mail/news standard by unintentionally entering
characters outside the repertoire of KS X 1001. By converting Windows-949
to Unicode, which in turn can be converted to EUC-KR(by the converter already
implemented which also supports 8byte seq. representation of 88xx Hangul
syllables) before sending out mail/news to the outside world(when user-selected
encoding/MIME charset is EUC-KR), Mozilla prevents users from producing
mail/news messages/articles in Windows-949 but labelled as in EUC-KR.

  Another area where this is very useful is displaying html documents generated
under
Korean MS-Windows (supposedly in EUC-KR but actually in WIndows-949) in
Unix/Linux and MacOS with fonts with limited char. repertoire(i.e. 2350 only).
Along with Unicode->EUC-KR converter(that supports 8byte seq. rep.),
this converter will enable Mozilla to render Hangul syllables outside
KS X 1001 repertoire in Unix/Linux and MacOS.

Frank,

Can you tell me where I can get 'fromu' used to create Mapping array?
Then, I'll take care of this converter.

Comment 8

[Jungshik Shin]

I made converters for CP949 (I used the mime name
x-windows-949 for this) both to and from Unicode. 
It works fine and I'll upload my patch after cleaning it up
and making it aligned with recent changes in intl/uconv directory.
