    Shouldn’t that work more like this?

      k
      k i
      k i m – not Kim already
      Kim ch – as there is no syllabogram Kimch nor Mch
      Kim ch i
      Kim ch i k – not Chik
      Kim Chi k a – could still be something longer than Ka
      Kim Chi Ka

    That is, show separate constituents (jamos) until the syllabogram is
    definitely complete (but probably also indicate which jamos are still
    being considered to form a syllabogram together). Something similar
    is true for shaping scripts like (traditional) arabic where you
    wouldn’t want the last entered letter to bear a final form until you
    hit a non-letter key.
