WG2.
70 symbols proposed in this time by D P R of Korea were applicated for registeration as
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2 N2958 on August 20, 1997 and were registered as ISO IR 202 on April

2. Rationale and Evidence of usage
1) Letterlike Symbols, “,,”“”is abbreviation of “Limited Liability”“”is abbreviation of “Partnership”“”is abbreviation of “Facsimile”

2) Number Forms, “,,,,”Fractional symbols using Dash andSlash as like“⅓, ” are defined
individually in KPS-9566.
These symbols mean that 1 is divided
by 3. They are used regularly in
expressing fraction of mathematics aswell as “,,,”Source: The publishing house of advanced education, Mathematics (Senior middle 1), 40p
19923) Miscellaneous Symbols, “,, ,, ,,,,,,”These symbols are mark symbols.
“” means Shower Weather.
“ ”is used in identifying symbols in map.
“ ” is used in Marking battle place and the position where
victory is gained.
Source: The publishing house of advanced education, Korean history
1992“” shows that mountain is located in the front side as road mark.
“” means ascent.
“”shows slope in the left and right sides.
“” is caution mark.
“”shows electric danger.

4) Supplemental Arrows-C, “,,,,,,,,,,,,,”Represents 14 arrows and each arrow represent its direction.

5) Dingbats, “,,”“” Leftward scissors whose direction is different from one of scissors registered.
“”Indicates symbol for upper direction .
“” Indicates that there is tea room in resting place on the map.

6) Supplemental CJK Compatibility (Vertical Writing), “˙,̕,˚,́,≀,’,‛,„,‟,,”11 symbols are specified in KPS-9566-97 and JIS X 0208, which are used widely in vertical writingof sentence.

7) CJK Compatibility, “”“”symbols are used when denoting line end of sentence without interval between point,parenthesis and quotation mark. Of course, document can be edited with point and parenthesis but the
gap between point and parenthesis is so wide as shown in the first sentence of example that it wasedited with one symbol.
Eg.
《가꼯 괃 쟗깏좨너 혒호떄 가바．》《가꼯 괃 쟗깏좨너 혒호떄 가바8) CJK Compatibility (Unit) , “, , ,, , ,, ,,”Unit symbols defined in KPS 9566-97 have high frequency among Unit symbols used in our country.
These symbols are used for correct line breaks.
“”

9) Symbols of Korean Characters

The 6 characters arranged from 4-72 to 4-77 in KPS 9566-97 are emphasized characters, which areused most frequently in the publications of our country as the characters whose thickness and size
are different from characters in Korean character syllable.

We propose to assign “Additional CJK Compatibility”, new block since current “CJK
Compatibility” is crammed.
“, ”are used frequently for reference and caution in manual.
