At Korea, Johab code is very old encondig.
by the way, cp949 code page is really used in most environments.
Personally speaking, Johab server code set is not need.
I think that PostgreSQL supports UHC (cp949) server code set.
This feature will be greet many Korean. :)
Unfortunately, UHC code set have character sequences less then 128 byte.
I tred to patch this problem, but this is not simply. I had gave up. :(
