I question the need to include this link. The manner in which the North Korean populace are expected to regard their current leader and his ancestors is a matter of public record dating back to the time of Kim Il Sung. The fact the KPS 9566 character encoding includes separate and consequent symbols for KIS and KJI, and two versions of the symbol of the Workers' Party of Korea, should be enough to alert readers to the political influences on the design of this encoding. The article should confine itself to the technical aspects and the attempts to align it with Unicode and other CJK encodings. Rugxulo (talk) 23:26, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Private use characters
I think it's confusing to use the actual private use characters from KPS9566.TXT because they will never be rendered properly on any system. I would like to see PUA characters (like E100) replaced in the charts with "�" and "� Not in Unicode" added to the legend for the affected tables. I don't have an issue listing the PUA code point under the � character if someone sees value in it. And I don't want � to replace characters represented by images (like 2E2F/F104) or equivalents (like F105). Are there objections to me making this change? DRMcCreedy (talk) 16:15, 19 May 2020 (UTC)


 * No objection here. The private use code points are listed mostly to show the mappings documented as being used by Red Star OS (as in attachments to ) or used in other DPRK-originated data files (as in, which KPS9566.TXT references and primarily derives from). As you rightly mention, the chances of them as verbatim PUA characters showing up correctly are next to nil (since, for a start, anyone accessing Wikipedia probably isn't using a North Korean made system to do so). --HarJIT (talk) 17:01, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks. DRMcCreedy (talk) 19:06, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Colors
I see a bunch of different colors in the tables, but I see no key telling me what each color signifies. I even tried searching for the words "color" and "blue". Am I missing something? --Guy Macon (talk) 04:52, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Fair comment; the key is after the first trail byte chart, but I should probably add keys after all charts, given how many there are. --HarJIT (talk) 14:46, 20 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Done --HarJIT (talk) 14:53, 20 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Much better. Thanks! --Guy Macon (talk) 17:14, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
