BUGS
When you see "charset=ks_c_5601-1987" on mails and web pages, they
really mean "cp949" encodings. To fix that, the following aliases are
set;
qr/(?:x-)?uhc$/i => '"cp949"'
qr/(?:x-)?windows-949$/i => '"cp949"'
qr/ks_c_5601-1987$/i => '"cp949"'
The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even
though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium. See
<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
to find out why it is implemented that way.
