History

Encoding hangul syllables in Unicode was complicated by a reorganization of the code points:

  • Unicode version 1.0.0 encoded 2,350 modern Korean hangul syllables from KS C 5601-1987 at U+3400..3D2D. This range is now part of CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A.
  • Version 1.1 added 1,930 additional modern syllables (from KS C 5659-1990) at U+3D2E..44BD and 2,376 old Korean syllables (from KS C 5657-1991) at U+44BE-4DFF. These collectively cover the remainder of what is now CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A and all of what is now Yijing Hexagram Symbols.
  • Version 2.0 added the 4,516 remaining possible syllables from KS C 5601-1992 and rearranged[3][4] all of the encoded syllables into the current U+AC00-D7AF range which allows algorithmic decomposition into individual jamo.

RFC 2279 explains that this significant incompatible change was made on the assumption that no data or software using Unicode for Korean existed:

"The official justification for allowing such an incompatible change was that no implementations and no data containing Hangul existed, a statement that is likely to be true but remains unprovable. The incident has been dubbed the "Korean mess", and the relevant committees have pledged to never, ever again make such an incompatible change." - RFC 2279

Subsequently, Unicode adopted an encoding stability policy which states that "Once a character is encoded, it will not be moved or removed".[5]

The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Hangul Syllables block:
