I think it depends somewhat on the encoding used by the webpages, and largely depends on whether you have the fonts installed, but I'm not sure. Here's a post on how to get "output" as well as "input" (IME):

I'm speculating based on my knowledge of Unicode vs. codepages, but you may still have difficulty with some Korean pages within Pocket Internet Explorer.

Here's an excerpt of a post I wrote for my product support that may help you (with terminology if nothing else) if you get stuck:

I've done quite a bit of research on Korean fonts and codepages supported by Windows and Windows Mobile. For the particular encoding of the RSS Feed you gave me (euc-kr), the codepage is 51949. There are quite a few Korean encodings supported, most of which point back to codepage 949.

I'm guessing that your device does not support codepage 51949, otherwise FeederReader should have recognized the "euc-kr" character encoding. Supporting "Korean" and supporting "euc-kr" are slightly different things so the fact that you are able to read Korean on Pocket Internet Explorer is not conclusive support for the encoding "euc-kr".

All you need to do is install Asukal's e-china available @ http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/echinaNo5.zip . It will install two things:

- a modified wince.nls file containing CJK codepages
- a master font containing CJK character sets
