# unifontksx(1)

Extract Hangul syllables that comprise KS X 1001:1992

## NAME

unifontksx - Extract Hangul syllables that comprise KS X 1001:1992

## SYNOPSIS

**unifontksx** \< *input-font.hex* \> *output-font.hex*

## DESCRIPTION

**unifontksx** reads a Unifont-format .hex font file from STDIN and writes a Unifont .hex file containing a subset to STDOUT. The subset that is output only contains the 2,350 syllables that comprise Korean Standard KS X 1001:1992.  These are extracted from the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, U+AC00..U+D7A3. This lets a font designer focus on those syllables that are most common in modern Hangul usage during font development.

## FILES

\*.bdf font files
