>From Nicloas Fella:
>> It only knows "ms949", "windows-949", and "windows-949-2000", which seem to all refer to the same codec?

>From Shinjo Park:
> According to https://icu4c-demos.unicode.org/icu-bin/convexp?conv=windows-949 it seems true. To make thing more worse, one of the alias (KSC_5601) is shared between CP949 and EUC-KR internally in ICU (see https://icu4c-demos.unicode.org/icu-bin/convexp?conv=euc-kr).

For what it is worth, the WHATWG erroneously calls the Windows tweak of Shift
JIS just `Shift JIS`, when the encoding in question is Windows-932/Cod Page
932/Windows-31J.

However, the IANA *does* get Japanese right:

Thank you for all that you at KDE do. It must be very difficult managing legacy
encodings and dealing with conflicting standards and old developers' choices
locked into place.
