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

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

Option

Function

-h, --help

Print a help message and exit.

-i input_file

Unifont hangul-base.hex formatted input file.

-o output_file

Unifont .hex format output file.

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.
