IJ14058: UNEXPECTED MAPPING SEEN WITH KOREAN MIDDLE DOT FOR EUC-KR CODEPAGE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: N/A
  .
  Stack Trace:
  .
  

Local fix

• java.nio.charset classes use the correct mappings and are
  unaffected
  

Problem summary

• If EUC-KR encoding is used to convert Korean characters to
  Unicode characters during string conversion, some characters
  were not converted to the expected Unicode characters.This
  result is because the EUC-KR codepage was based on the IBM970
  codepage.
  

Problem conclusion

• The following character conversion table are updated
  0xA1A4,0xA1A9,0xA1AA,0xA1AD, 0xA2A6 and 0xA2C1 along with 3 more
  characters added which are 0xA2E6,0xA2E7 and 0xA2E8.If you
  require the previous mappings, specify the -Dibm.useCp970=true
  system property on the command line when you run your
  application.
  .
