I am well aware that the "peculiar Unicode" encoding of letter clusters
as units is not the fault of the Consortium but, like the encoding of
the hangul syllables themselves, is the fault of the Korean printing
industry, which likes to treat these as units because it simplifies
rendering. But that doesn't make it less peculiar from a linguistic
point of view since Hangul is in fact a segmental writing system.
