The Unicode Consortium cannot tell people -- whether individuals or communities of users -- how to encode that data. All it can do is include characters in an encoding standard, giving people options for how to encode that data. I'm sure eventually there will be someone somewhere who will encode it using Hangul characters, but that's their choice. Peter Constable
