What do you mean the "separate hanja input method"?
If it means the method included in Emacs, we need it.

I agree that F9 should be maintained as conversion key of Hanja.
But the method `quail-hangul-switch-hanja' is not a general way in Korea.
Korean people don't switch the input mode to use Hanja.
We just input a Hangul Letter, then F9 will convert the Letter to Hanja.
I think it's more simple than the method 'quail-hangul-switch-hanja'
for Korean user.
You should know that 'one Hangul Letter' matches 'one Hanja'. and we
normally know the 'pronunciation of hanja', and we want to write hanja
with this.
