Chester's mention is very strange for me. Chris is right. Whole Korean
characters(11,172) can be displayed on both Win95 and NT4.0. But, we can
input only 2,350 Korean characters on Win95 through IME and 11,172
characters on NT4.0 with system default mode. If you want to input 11,172
Korean characters on Win95, you should change the ISO10646 flag through
\WINDOWS\iso10646.exe. But, NT4.0 always support 11,172 Korean characters
Input/Output.
Thanks
