Hi, i need some help from more experienced people. I am inputting hangul with iimf. my environemtn sets LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8 a [joe@www joe]$ rpm -qa | grep iimf iiimf-emacs-11.4-60 iiimf-client-lib-11.4-60 iiimf-le-hangul-11.4-60 iiimf-protocol-lib-11.4-60 iiimf-client-lib-devel-11.4-60 iiimf-le-canna-11.4-60 iiimf-protocol-lib-devel-11.4-60 iiimf-server-11.4-60 iiimf-gtk-11.4-60 iiimf-le-unit-11.4-60 iiimf-csconv-11.4-60 iiimf-le-newpy-11.4-60 iiimf-docs-11.4-60 iiimf-x-11.4-60

[joe@www joe]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) [joe@www joe]$

however, if i type a c++ file with some strings in C++ my postgres refuses to accept some of its characters with the if I set the client_encoding to EUC_KR, but if I set client_encoding to UTF8 it matches incorrectly. it is not matching in the database. for some reaons. I want to learn how to discover what encoding I have by looking at the hex dump of my file.

For a shortcut, is iimf inputting my stuff in UTF-8 or EUC_KR? the locale says UTF-8 is this true?

where is there a reference in the net where I can look at the hex sequences of differnt encodings? like, a master sheet?

Also, is there a reliable tool/library for determining encodings. I look now at mozilla's encoding deterctor but I don't know if the library is separable from the source tree.

any input welcome!!!!

thanks for your time.
