    Sorry guys. For reasons known to itself, my mailer refused to post in UTF-8
    this morning. I meant "hangul(hangul, hangeul)".

    According to a native <ftp://dkuug.dk/ftp.anonymous/email/iso15924/277> the
    correct form are the ones between parenthesis (with an added apostrophe
    between han'gul).

    Clearly, the Langues'O did adapt it to French typographical possibilities,
    reversing the breve accent into a circumflex.

    This is the other form, with an added, euphonical u after the g, to avoid a
    complete misprononciation.

    About whether all this right or not, I do not know. But I believe this text
    did go through two ballots against the very people of Langues'O (?), so we
    have no reason to correct now what was accepted in the standard. The only
    choice right now is to type exactly what was printed, since I understand we
    do not have any more the master that served to the [F]DIS texts.

    Since I am not a member of TC46, and furthermore I was away from the process
    last year, I might very easily be wrong.
