gen-hangul [options]

     Generates Hangul syllables from an input Unifont .hex file encoded
     in Johab 6/3/1 format.  The output is the Unicode Hangul Syllables
     range, U+AC00..U+D7A3.

     This program demonstrates forming Hangul syllables without shifting
     the final consonant (jongseong) when combined with a vowel having
     a long double vertical stroke.  For a program that demonstrtes
     shifting jongseong in those cases, see unigen-hangul, which is what
     creates the Unifont Hangul Syllables block.

     This program may be invoked with the following command line options:
