Sorting It All Out : Whats up with the Korean (Unicode) sort? In Japanese, the yen sign comes between the left bracket and the right bracket, so you would want U+whatever the code point is for yen sign to come between U+005b and U+005d.

North Korean won - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The won became the currency of North Korea in 1945, replacing the Japanese yen at par. Note: Since then, the North Korean government has abandoned the meaningless rate of 2.16 won to the dollar (which is said to be based on Kim Jong-il's birthday, February 16) and banks in the country now issue at rates closer to the black market rate. However, rampant inflation has been eroding the North Korean won's value to such an extent that currently it is believed to be worth about the same as the South Korean won (of course, the U.S. dollar and other currencies are still worth more in North Korean wons on the black market than officially). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/North_Korean_won   (315 words)

Runker Room : Japan : About Japanese Coins The size and weight of the old 500-yen coin (above) is almost the same as a Korean coin of much lower value. One side of each coin (with the exception of the 5 yen) shows the value in Arabic numerals and the year in which the coin was minted, written in kanji (Chinese characters) or a combination of kanji and Arabic numerals. Most of the coins encountered these days are either Heisei (The Era of Achieving Peace under Akihito, emperor since 1989) or Showa (The Era of Enlightened Peace under the previous emperor, Hirohito, 64 years from 1926 to 1989). www.geocities.com /runker_room/jcoins.htm   (315 words)

Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Tibet, & Mongolia When Yen was conqured by the Ch'in Dynasty in 222, its Korean possessions passed with it, though my map of the Ch'in actually doesn't show it extending that far, so perhaps Ch'in control quickly lapsed. The earliest important state in Korea was Old Choson, which began in the 4th century BC and endured until its conquest by the Chinese state of Yen (or Yan) around 300 BC. The Vietnamese revolutionaries, indeed, had learned their Leftism well in France itself; and Americian support alone, especially in the 1940's or 50's, would not have persuaded anyone that command economics and a police state were not good ideas. www.friesian.com /perigoku.htm   (7864 words)
