It's certainly possible to make a single byte character set(with 186=94*2 graphic characters) a la ISO-8859-x for Korean Hangul. As a matter of fact, such a character set __was__ used in mid-1980's on Korean Unix system(V7 Unix) and perhaps on other platforms. Besides, South Korea and North Korea agreed to devise a new ISO 2002 compliant single byte character set for Korean script(Hangul/Chosun-gul/Jeong-eum). (I don't know what it's for though since we now have Unicode.) > Well obviously not: Unicode 3.0 has AC00 to D7A3 for Hangul Codes. That's only for complete modern syllables. In addition to that, U+1100 block has to be used for the full support of Korean Hangul. Jungshik Shin
