Well, those were the early days when there were few implementations of
Unicode and even fewer that used Unicode to support Korean. Finally, the
Korean set is so large that we could not use our preferred method of
'correction' mistakes, i.e. by coding the 'corrected' characters as new
characters.
Nowadays the number of implementations supporting Unicode has grown to the
point that it's impossible to even get an accurate estimate of their number
and since Georgian does not require unusually complicated rendering, I
would suspect that there already are a considerable amount of data and
implementations.
