           Summary: korean/man-doc - Encoding errors in manual pages
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New

There are multiple encoding errors in the Korean language manual pages. Running
the following Perl script on the Korean language manual pages reveals about
twenty files with encoding errors:

-----

use warnings;
use strict;
use utf8;
use FindBin '$Bin';
my @files = <$Bin/man*/*.gz>;
my $fakefile = 'guff';
for my $file (@files) {

    # Using /dev/null results in "Inappropriate ioctl for device" errors
    # from iconv.
    my $status = system ("gzcat $file | iconv -f \"EUC-KR\" -t \"UTF-8\" >
$fakefile");
    if ($status) {
        print "Bad file $file.\n";
    }
}
unlink $fakefile or die $!;

-----

I carefully confirmed that there is indeed an error in the Korean gcc manual
page, where it contains bytes \x82 and \xC1 on line 1875. These don't map into
the EUC-KR encoding. I don't speak Korean so I cannot suggest what characters
were intended to be placed here. I have not confirmed the encoding errors in
the other pages.
