Both NT4 and Win95 Korean versions use "UHC" as the character repertoire for
cp949. (Win95 actually runs with this code page internally, NT4 converts to
Unicode for internal operations)
Chester, if you have Korean characters in an Office97 doc that display on
NT4 but not on Win95, please reply to me and let me know the Unicode points,
or ideally send me the document. There should be no Hangul characters we
cannot display on Win95 KOR. This was the whole point of doing UHC: support
all Hangul characters with a simple code range extension of KS C 5601 - 1987
to maintain backward compatibility with older applications.
There is a known limitation of Asian versions of Win95 that it cannot
display characters outside the system code page _within the same font_. You
can use different fonts to display those characters, but if you try to use a
full Unicode font (like Bitstream Cyberbit), you will be limited to the
characters that fall within the system code page on Win95. This is fixed in
Win98 as someone else noted.

I have Korean Windows 95 and NT 4.0 running, and they are not
Unicode.
Windows 95 supports KSC 5601-1987; NT 4.0 supports Codepage 949
(UHC).
This creates the interesting problem that a document created with MS
Office 97 on NT 4 can contain characters that will not display
properly
on Windows 95 running Office 97.
