NAME

       johab2syllables - Convert Unifont Johab 6/3/1 file to Hangul Syllables

SYNOPSIS

       johab2syllables -i hangul-base.hex -o hangul-syllables.hex

DESCRIPTION

       johab2syllables  generates  the  modern  Hangul  Syllables  Unicode  range, U+AC00..U+D7A3, from an input
       Unifont .hex file encoded in Johab 6/3/1 format.  This program demonstrates how to use functions  in  the
       unihangul-support.c  file  to map a Hangul Syllables code point to the choseong, jungseong, and jongseong
       Hangul Jamo that comprise each syllable.

       This program is specifically designed to generate the Unicode Hangul Syllables range only, and  does  not
       shift  final  consonants (jongseong) if the vowel contains two long vertical strokes.  For a more general
       program that uses the entire Hangul Jamo modern, ancient, and extended ancient ranges of  U+1100..U+11FF,
       U+A960..U+A97F,  and  U+D7B0..D7FF,  and  which does shift jongseong right one column for vowels with two
       long vertical strokes on the right,  see  unigen-hangul(1).   That  program  is   used  to  generate  the
       distributed Unifont Hangul Syllables range.

              Range          Hangul

              1100-1112      Modern initial consonants (choseong)

              1161-1175      Modern medial vowels and diphthongs (jungseong)

              11A8-11C2      Modern final consonants (jongseong).

FILES

       Unifont  .hex files in Johab 6/3/1 encoding.  See unifont-johab631(5) for a description of the input file
       structure.  This program uses functions contained in the file unihangul-support.c.
