On Windows, strings will display correctly in either NFC or NFD provided an appropriate font is used--that choice being different for Japanese and for Korean. Windows 7 and earlier do not ship with fonts that support Old Hangul, but Old Hangul fonts are available from other sources; e.g.

Another point: Aren't the two versions of the same Unicode text supposed to be rendered the same? They're not, at least not in any of the applications in which I've viewed them: Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Notepad, Vim, BabelPad and SC Unipad. SC UniPad uses its own built-in font

CJK text in Normalization Form D When I type the ideograph 漢 (U+FA47) into BabelPad, highlight it, and then click the button labeled Normalize to NFC, the character becomes 漢 (U+6F22). Does BabelPad not conform to the Unicode Standard in this case? Is this not truly Unicode normalization

FA47 is a compatibility character, and would have a compatibility mapping. Faulty syllogism. FA47 is a CJK Compatibility character, which means it was encoded for compatibility purposes -- in this case to cover the round-trip mapping needed for JIS X 0213. However, it has a *canonical*
