Just a quck question before reading it through and comment on it. Will
allkeys.txt for 4.0 keep weights given to Hangul Jamos? The following
is written under the assumption that it will.
Specifically, U+1102 (Nieun), U+1103 (Tikeut) and U+1113(Nieun-Kiyeok) are
given the primary weight of 1832, 1833 and 1844, respectively. With these,
U+1113 will be sorted after U+1103, right? Or am I missing something
(I haven't read UTS #10 through, yet)? The order is different from the
way (South) Koreans (at least, most Korean dictionary editors) expect
them to be sorted. We expect U+1113 (and other cluster consonants whose
first component is U+1102. They're U+1114, U+1115, U+1116) to be put
after U+1102 but before U+1103. The same is true of any cluster Jamos.
Is it UTC's intention to leave the task of making Hangul Jamos collate in
accordance with (South) Koreans' expectation to (South) Korean specific
tailoring?
Thanks,
Jungshik
