ISO-2022-JP-2 tries to encode Japanese, Chinese(simplified, tranditional) and Korean coded character sets for mail exchange. As an framework for encoding multiple coded character sets with swtich,escape sequence, etc, ISO-2022 should be able to encode all the registered (with ISO registry) charater sets. Of course, I'm not saying that tedious and stateful ISO-2022 should be used in place of Unicode/ISO 10646. Jungshik Shin
