KPS 9566 ("DPRK Standard Korean Graphic Character Set for Information Interchange") is a North Korean standard specifying a character encoding for the Hangul writing system used for the Korean language. The edition of 1997 specified an ISO 2022-compliant 94×94 two-byte coded character set. Subsequent editions have added additional encoded characters outside of the 94×94 plane, in a manner comparable to UHC or GBK. KPS 9566 differs in approach from KS X 1001, its South Korean counterpart, in using a different ordering of Hangul, in encoding explicit vertical presentation forms of punctuation, in not encoding duplicate Hanja for multiple readings, and in including several characters specific to the North Korean political system, including special encodings for the names of the country's past and present leaders (Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un). Although KPS 9566 was the original source of several characters added to Unicode, not all KPS 9566 characters have Unicode equivalents. Those which do not are mapped to similar Unicode characters or to the Private Use Area.
