A. The decomposition mappings in UnicodeData-1.1.5.txt are
correct.
B. The composed Hangul syllables (Unicode 2.0 characters) derived from
the UnicodeData-1.1.5.txt decomposition mapping do not match the
Unicode 2.0 characters mapped to the corresponding Unicode 1.0/1.1
characters in HANGUL.TXT in all cases.
C. In particular, the mappings given for the Unicode 1.0/1.1 characters in rows
1747, 1750, 1751, 5284, 5285, 9067, 9068, 9737, 9877, 9888 and 9916 of
HANGUL.TXT are incorrect:
Row 1747 Cols.5 & 6 : "- 48B3" should be "35AA 35AA" (from row 1751) Row 1750 Cols.5 & 6 : "- 48B4" should be "- 48B3" (from row 1747) Row 1751 Cols.5 & 6 : "- 35AA" should be "- 48B4" (from row 1750) Row 5284 Cols.5 & 6 : "- 384E" should be "- 40BC" (from row 5285) Row 5285 Cols.5 & 6 : "- 40BC" should be "384E 384E" (from row 5284) Row 9067 Cols.5 & 6 : "- 436C" should be "- -" (from row 9068) Row 9068 Cols.5 & 6 : "- -" should be "- 436C" (from row 9067) Row 9737 Cols.5 & 6 : "- -" should be "- 43DA" (from row 9877) Row 9877 Cols.5 & 6 : "- 43DA" should be "- -" (from row 9737) Row 9888 Cols.5 & 6 : "- 43FB" should be "- -" (from row 9916) Row 9916 Cols.5 & 6 : "- -" should be "- 43FB" (from row 9888)
Consequently these rows should be amended to :
1747 B4D3 B4D3 93AB 35AA 35AA B2D2 NIEUN I RIEULMIEUM 1750 - 8899 93AE - 48B3 B2D5 NIEUN I RIEULTHIEUTH 1751 - 889A 93AF - 48B4 B2D6 NIEUN I RIEULPHIEUPH 5284 BBE5 BBE5 ABB5 - 40BC C0A3 SSANGPIEUP I SIOS 5285 - 98A4 ABB6 384E 384E C0A4 SSANGPIEUP I SSANGSIOS 9067 - B19E C5B8 - - CF6A KHIEUKH O CIEUC 9068 - B19F C5B9 - 436C CF6B KHIEUKH O CHIEUCH 9737 - B881 CA56 - 43DA D208 THIEUTH OE SSANGSIOS 9877 - BA46 CAF6 - - D294 THIEUTH WI SSANGSIOS 9888 - BA4F CB44 - - D29F THIEUTH YU KIYEOKSIOS 9916 - BA6B CB64 - 43FB D2BB THIEUTH EU KIYEOKSIOS
Because HANGUL.TXT is provided primarily for archival purposes, the data file itself will not be corrected. Extreme care should be taken when attempting to map any Korean data to Unicode 1.0 or Unicode 1.1 values.
