In this paper we derive an optimal Huffman code set with escape coding that miximizes coding efficiency for the Hangul text data. The Hangul code can be represented in the standard Wansung or Unicode format, and we can generate a set of Huffamn codes for both. The current Korean DT standard has not defined a Hangul compression algorithm which may be confronted with a serious data rate for the digital data broadcasting system Generation of the optimal Huffman code set is to solve the data transmission problem. A relevant PSIP structure for the DTB standard is also proposed As a result characters which have the probability of less than 0.0043 are escape coded, showing the optimum compression efficiency of 46%.
