UNIGEN-HANGUL(1) General Commands Manual UNIGEN-HANGUL(1) # [NAME](#NAME) unigen-hangul - Generate Hangul syllables from a Johab 6/3/1 Unifont hex file # [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS) **unigen-hangul -i** *hangul-base.hex* **-o** *hangul-syllables.hex* # [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION) **unigen-hangul** generates Hangul syllables from an input Unifont .hex file encoded in Johab 6/3/1 format. By default, the output is the Unicode Hangul Syllables range, U+AC00..U+D7A3. Options allow the user to specify a starting code point for the output Unifont .hex file, and ranges in hexadecimal of the starting and ending Hangul Jamo code points: [**Range**](#Range) **Hangul** **1100-115E** Hangul Jamo initial consonants (choseong) [**A960-A97C**](#A960) Hangul Jamo Extended-A initial consonants (choseong) **1161-11A7** Hangul Jamo medial vowels and diphthongs (jungseong) [**D7B0-D7C6**](#D7B0) Hangul Jamo Extended-B medial vowels and diphthongs (jungseong) **11A8-11FF** Hangul Jamo final consonants (jongseong). [**D7CB-D7FB**](#D7CB) Hangul Jamo Extended-B final consonants (jongseong). A single code point or 0 to omit can be specified instead of a range. A starting code point of one position before a valid starting range for a Hangul jamo series (choseong, jungseong, and/or jongseong) will first use a blank glyph for that jamo, and then cycle through remaining valid code points for the respective choseong, jungseong, or jongseong. A range can span modern and ancient, and even Hangul Jamo Extended-A and Hangul Jamo Extended-B ranges. For example, [-j3 11A7-D7FB](#j3) Will first use no jongseong (because U+11A7 is one before the start of Hangul Jamo jongseong code points), then loop through jongseong in the Hangul Jamo range of U+11A8 through U+11FF, and then loop through jongseong in the Hangul Jamo Extended-B range of U+D7CB through U+D7FB. # [OPTIONS](#OPTIONS) [**Option**](#Option) **Function** [**-h, --help**](#h,) Print a help message and exit. [**-all**](#all) Generate all Hangul syllables, using all modern and ancient Hangul in the Unicode range U+1100..U+11FF, assigned code points in the Extended-A range of U+A960..U+A97C, and assigned code points in the Extended-B range of U+D7B0..U+D7FF. **WARNING:** this will generate over 1,600,000 syllables in a 115 megabyte Unifont .hex format file. The default is to only output the 11,172 modern Hangul syllables. [**-c** *code\_point*](#c) Starting code point in hexadecimal for output file. [**-j1** *start-end*](#j1) Choseong (jamo 1) start-end range in hexadecimal. [**-j2** *start-end*](#j2) Jungseong (jamo 2) start-end range in hexadecimal. [**-j3** *start-end*](#j3~2) Jongseong (jamo 3) start-end range in hexadecimal. [**-i** *input\_file*](#i) Unifont hangul-base.hex formatted input file. [**-o** *output\_file*](#o) Unifont .hex format output file. # [EXAMPLES](#EXAMPLES) unigen-hangul -c 1 -j3 11AB-11AB \\ -i hangul-base.hex -o nieun-only.hex This command generates Hangul syllables using all modern choseong and jungseong, and only the jongseong nieun (Unicode code point U+11AB). The output Unifont .hex file will contain code points starting at 1. Instead of specifying "-j3 11AB-11AB", simply using "-j3 11AB" will also suffice. This next example is a series of syllable sets suggested by Ho-Seok Ee for preliminary syllable alignment checking of modern Hangul. • The first command generates all modern syllables containing no jongseong (final consonant), starting at Unifont hexadecimal glyph location 0x1000; selecting a jongseong value that is out of range (U+1160 in this case) will use a blank filler in place of the jongseong. • The second command generates all modern syllables containing jongseong Kiyeok (U+11AB), which has a horizontal line extending across the lower portion of a syllable, starting at Unifont hexadecimal glyph location 0x2000. • The third command generates all modern Hangul syllables containing jongseong Rieul (U+11AF), starting at Unifont hexadecimal glyph location 0x3000. • The fourth command generates all modern Hangul syllables containing choseong (initial consonant) Rieul (U+1105), starting at Unifont hexadecimal glyph location 0x4000. Here is the command sequence: unigen-hangul -c 1000 -j1 1100-1112 -j2 1161-1175 -j3 1160 \\ -i hangul-base.hex > hangul-prep.hex unigen-hangul -c 2000 -j1 1100-1112 -j2 1161-1175 -j3 11AB \\ -i hangul-base.hex >> hangul-prep.hex unigen-hangul -c 3000 -j1 1100-1112 -j2 1161-1175 -j3 11AF \\ -i hangul-base.hex >> hangul-prep.hex unigen-hangul -c 4000 -j1 1105 -j2 1161-1175 -j3 11A8-11C2 \\ -i hangul-base.hex >> hangul-prep.hex The resulting .hex file can then be examined with hexdraw, unihex2bmp, *etc.* # [FILES](#FILES) Unifont .hex files in Johab 6/3/1 encoding.
