KS X 1002

KS X 1002 is a South Korean character set standard established in order to supplement KS X 1001. It consists of a total of 7,649 characters.

Characters

Characters in KS X 1002 are arranged in a 94×94 grid, and the two-byte code point of each character is expressed in the haeng-''yeol form, which specifies a row and the position of the character within the row.
The rows contain characters as follows:

01–07: Latin letters with diacritics
08–10: Greek letters with diacritics
11–13: miscellaneous symbols

14: compound jamo'' and Hangul syllables without an initial consonant

The rows 15 and 86–94 are unassigned.

Impact on Unicode

KS X 1002 is one of the sources of the CJK Unified [Ideographs (Unicode block)|CJK Unified Ideographs] block in Unicode.
In Unicode 1.1, the characters at U+3D2E–U+44B7 were from rows 16–36 of KS X 1002. However, they were deleted and superseded by the new Hangul Syllables block in Unicode 2.0.
