s/necessary/enough/ (So poor english. :< ) It is not always possible to convert from euc-kr to utf-8, either. But in practice, it's always possible. It's because the EUC-KR only code values are hardly used, and we can avoid to use them. How about the Cyrillic case? Isn't the transcoding possible for any reasonable Cyrillic character? If not, then I wonder why iso-8859-5 is used for Cyrillic; the charset couldn't cover the reasonable Cyrillic characters. -- Changwoo RYU
