We have specialized transliterators that are algorithmic. See
http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/apiref/class_Transliterator.html
For the specific case of Hangul, what we have is an algorithmic Hangul-Jamo
converter, and a rule-based Jamo-Latin converter. The Hangul-Latin
transliterator internally is a compound transliterator that is "Hangul-Jamo
; Jamo-Latin". Similarly, Latin-Hangul is a compound: "Latin-Jamo ;
Jamo-Hangul".
That way Hangul-Latin also handles any combination of Hangul syllables and
Jamo components.

Subject: Arithmetic in Transliteration
> From what I have read on this list, a Roman-to-Hangul translation would be
GREATLY aided by the use of arithmetic on Unicode values. Is this in there
too? Arithmetic on Unicode values?
