KS X 1001 (Korean Graphic Character Set for Information
Interchangecitation needed) is a South Korean coded character
set standard to represent hangul and hanja characters on a
computer. It is arranged as 94×94 table (similarly to 2-byte
code words in ISO 2022 and EUC), therefore its code points are
pairs of integers 1–94. KS X 1001 contains ASCII, Korean,
typography, Greek, Cyrillic, Japanese (Hiragana and Katakana)
and some other characters. This standard was previously known as
KS C 5601. There have been several revisions of this standard.
For example, there were revisions in 1987, 1992, 1998 and 2002.
Several computer operating systems encode various versions of
this standard several ways. Not all of them encode the standard
the same way, like replacing the typical backslash at byte 0x5C
with the won currency sign (₩).citation needed Some operating
systems extend this standard in other non-uniform ways. Possible
encoding schemes of KS X 1001 are: EUC-KR, windows-949 (superset
of EUC-KR) , ISO-2022-KR and
