Introduction to cm-locale-ko_KR-12.5.1.5000-1.cop.sgn

This cryptographic software package provides comprehensive Korean language support for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1) systems, specifically optimized for South Korean regional standards. Released in Q2 2025, it implements KS X 1005-1:2024 character encoding updates and aligns with revised telecommunications compliance requirements from Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT.

The locale pack maintains compatibility with Cisco UCS C-Series servers (C220/C240 M7) and virtualized deployments using VMware ESXi 8.0 U2+ or KVM 6.2+ hypervisors. It resolves 12 localization discrepancies identified in previous CUCM versions, including Hangul text rendering improvements for real-time collaboration interfaces.
