    BabelPad running under Uniscribe v1.0626.6000.16386 displays the
    Katakana examples identically (using Meiryo) and the Hangul examples
    identically (using Batang).

    As usual, there is more to "does it display properly?" than calling out
    an individual application or operating system.

    Furthermore, I don't think "CJK text" is an appropriate way to lump
    these two issues together. In particular, Korean syllable-block
    formation isn't like anything else in Unicode. When I read the Subject
    line, my first thought was, how silly, ideographs aren't subject to
    normalization.
