Shouldn’t that work more like this?
k
k i
k i m – not Kim already
Kim ch – as there is no syllabogram Kimch nor Mch
Kim ch i
Kim ch i k – not Chik
Kim Chi k a – could still be something longer than Ka
Kim Chi Ka
That is, show separate constituents (jamos) until the syllabogram is
definitely complete (but probably also indicate which jamos are still
being considered to form a syllabogram together). Something similar
is true for shaping scripts like (traditional) arabic where you
wouldn’t want the last entered letter to bear a final form until you
hit a non-letter key.
