3.3.5.1.2 Korean Identifiers

VBA support for identifiers containing Korean characters is based upon Windows Codepage 949 [UNICODE-BESTFIT]. Korean characters are encoded as 16 bit double byte characters with code points beginning at %x8141. The Unicode equivalents of Windows Codepage 949 code points are specified by the file bestfit949.txt provided at [UNICODE-BESTFIT]. All of the code points in the range %x81-FE are lead bytes that serve as the first byte of a 16 bit encoding of a code point.

A <CP949-initial-character> MAY be any Unicode character that corresponds to the following Windows Codepage 949 character code points: any defined 16-bit code point whose lead byte is less than %xA1 or greater than %xAF; any defined code point, regardless of its lead byte value, whose second bytes is less than %xA1 or greater than %xFE; code points in the range %xA3C1-A3DA; code points in the range %xA3E1-A3FA; code points in the range %xA4A1-A4FE.

A <CP949-subsequent-character> is defined identically to <CP949-initial-character> with the addition of code point %xA3DF and code points in the range %xA3B0-A3B9.
