Subject: support for decomposed Korean in Unicode?

In Unicode, Korean syllables can either be encoded as composite, for
example

  은

or decomposed into elements, Jamo:

  은

This process doesn't require big lookup tables since the former can be
derived from the latter, and vice versa (the Unicode book holds the
algorithm).

It would be great if Emacs supported this, perhaps similar to the
tibetan-compose-xxx functions: If a jamo character code is detected in
a buffer, try to automatically compose it to a complete hangul
syllable -- again, this process is described in the Unicode book.

If you want to see this in practice, have a look at the Yudit editor.
