Hangul (obsolete Unicode block)

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by HarJIT (talk | contribs) at 15:26, 1 October 2020 (Split into subheadings.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Hangul, Hangul Supplementary-A, and Hangul Supplementary-B were character blocks that existed in Unicode 1.0 and 1.1, and ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993. These blocks encoded precomposed modern Hangul syllables. These three Unicode 1.x blocks were deleted and superseded by the new Hangul Syllables block (U+AC00–U+D7AF) in Unicode 2.0 (July 1996) and ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 Amd. 5 (1998), and are now occupied by CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A and Yijing Hexagram Symbols. Deletion of existing characters has been prohibited by the Unicode Stability Policy for all versions following Unicode 2.0, and so the Unicode 2.0 Hangul Syllables block will remain in Unicode.

Documentation

The Unicode 1.0.0 code chart is still available, including only the Korean Hangul Syllables block.[1] Data for mapping between Unicode 1.1, Unicode 2.0 and other hangul encodings has been supplied by the Unicode Consortium.[2] This data is archived as historic, but contains errors; an errata document is also supplied which corrects the mappings with reference to decompositions from the Unicode Character Database for Unicode 1.1.5,[3] which is itself also available.[4] This itself contains some errors; corrected data with reference to the code chart and the source standards is documented in the Unicode Technical Committee document UTC L2/17-080, submitted by Jaemin Chung.[5]

Hangul (U+3400–U+3D2D),[6] also called Korean Hangul Syllables,[1] consisted of 2,350 syllables from KS C 5601-1987 (now KS X 1001). This block was encoded from Unicode 1.0.0 and included in the main code chart (without character names)[1] but not in the block charts (which included character names).[7]
