Symptoms:
	PHCO_14776:

	The currently supplied Korean iconv converter tables are
	non-conformant to the Unicode 2.0, ISO-10646 and Korean
	national standard KSC-5700.  The Unicode mappings
	contained in the tables are not supported by any other
	vendor and are considered obsolete by ISO-10646 and
	Unicode Consortium.

	As is, it is impossible to share data with other
	Unicode-aware systems, such as NT, which is standards
	conformant.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_14776:

	The Korean iconv converter tables to convert between
	eucKRand UCS-2/UTF-8 incorrectly map to the old
	Unicode 1.1 standard. They should align to the
	Unicode 2.0 specificationwhich also aligns with the
	Korean national standard: KSC-5700.

	Currently 4,306 Hangul characters are incorrectly mapped
	in the region 0x3D2E through 0x4DFF.  In the Unicode 2.0
	specification, these characters have been removed and
	replace with 11,172  Hangul characters defined in the
	0xAC00 - 0xD7FF region.

	Tables affected are the eucKR=ucs2 and ucs2=eucKR.
