It is a canonical transformation. See the note under D3 in http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/tr15-18.html
> Note: Hangul syllable decomposition is considered a canonical decomposition. See Technical Report #8: The Unicode Standard, Version 2.1 (http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr8.html) or The Unicode Standard, Version 3.0. Also see Annex 10: Hangul.
See also D23 in the 3.0 book.
