For Jamos already encoded in U+1100 block, I think it's best to use them as an unit. However, MS products support a lot more Jamos (at the request of Korean linguists) than there are slots in the U+1100 block. Therefore, what they did was representing not-yet-encoded composite Jamos with a sequence of encoded Jamos. Their fonts (TTFs) and Uniscribe rendering engine support this. In light of thise, I think TUS text certainly needs some 'rewritting'. Jungshik Shin
