The Unicode Consortium cannot tell people -- whether individuals or
communities of users -- how to encode that data. All it can do is
include characters in an encoding standard, giving people options for
how to encode that data. I'm sure eventually there will be someone
somewhere who will encode it using Hangul characters, but that's their
choice.
