Hangul Jamo Extended-A is a set of archaic jamo in unicode.

There should be a Korean version of the README. Find someone qualified to do a translation.

jamo.stroke(hangul character)

inspired by http://godoc.org/github.com/suapapa/go_hangul

As defined in Unicode 7.0, e.g.
name('ㄱ') == "HANGUL LETTER KIYEOK"
name('ᅖ') == "HANGUL CHOSEONG PHIEUPH-PIEUP"

There should be no jamo.jamo, i.e. users should be able to do something like from jamo import hangul_to_jamo.

Returning a string seems wrong, but returning a custom type seems worse. Find out what the right way to do this is.

consider adding romanization util, e.g. https://github.com/Kyubyong/g2pK/blob/bfecb82ab669e76ef312111d524d2f16de669ba3/g2pk/utils.py

From https://github.com/JDongian/python-jamo/blob/master/jamo/jamo.py#L132 , the ranges to check are 0x3131 <= code <= 0x314E or 0x314F <= code <= 0x3163.

Is that the same as 0x3131 <= code <= 0x3163?

j2hcj is inaccurate because it can take in not only jamo as input, but any values.

As you guys writes kindly in ReadMe, I ran "sudo pip install python-jamo" but got the error in the picture.

It might be solvable without your effort, but could you check up what would be the reason for this?

In case it is about the version of Python that I'm using, please let me know.

Have a good day guys.

I'd find it useful to be able to break down compound consonant and vowel clusters further, into their components.

ie, I might expect
jamo.h2j('ㄸ')
to produce
ㄷㄷ
rather than simply
ㄸ
as it does now.

Also, having the inverse would be nice too:
jamo.j2h('ㅅ','ㅅ','ㅏ','ㅇ')
output:
쌍

Maybe a different step-up function would be required for that. I see this as very useful for Issue #7, though it might cause some ambiguities. As an example with random jamo, would ㅇ ㅜ ㅅ ㅅ ㅡ ㅇ become 웃승 or 우씅? Maybe you'd always just err on avoiding clusters unless required.

Same for ㄺ and ㅀ and the other 9(?) mixed consonant clusters. I think this gets wildly more complicated if you support old Hangul, which seems to have occasional triple (or more?) letter clusters. Though don't quote me on that, I'm new to all this.

Even what I propose would break the model of assuming all characters are 2-3 jamo, so this might not be trivial.

An .is_cluster() or .is_compound() returning True or False as a supporting function might be useful too. Maybe having constants that have all the clusters, consonants, and vowels could be used so you could just say:
jamo.is_consonant("ㄸ")
> True
or
"ㄸ" in jamo.COMPOUNDS
> True

I'm just starting to learn Korean and decided to write a short random grammar quiz for the vocab I know. One of the challenges was identifying final vowels in stems for conjugations, and identifying final consonants for irregulars. I started to write something to turn hangul to jamo before learning about the craziness of Hangul in Unicode. I was completely yak shaving until I found this great project.

Thanks for this, it's really useful!

It would be interesting to build an example project that did an jamo-level autocomplete. Maybe not fitting for this repo, but worth playing with.

I think the package downloaded by 'pip install jamo' is older than commit 300415c.
Because I got encoding error with it.
With git-cloned version, package is installed normally.

http://python-jamo.readthedocs.org/ko/latest/ has a nice use case that should be implemented for next release. Do it. Please.

instead of decomposing to a string, an array of tuples would be better; users could just flatten them if desired.

Perhaps name them in the style of jamo.JAMO_LEADS and jamo.HCJ_LEADS. This makes testing better. Also consider if archaic jamo will take up a spot in the namespace. Probably not.

Add links to jamo implementations in other programming langs

e.g. HCJ_TAILS_MODERN

Add travis.yml sometime.

This is better for seo and visibility in the long run.

declare encoding for python files.

Looking at the Git history for jamo/__init__.py indicates that two new releases should have been made of the library, 0.4.2 and 0.4.3, but neither of them are available on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/jamo/#history.

Would it be possible to get these versions (or at least 0.4.3) uploaded to PyPI so it's possible to install the latest version without pointing at the Git repository?

>>> j2hcj(h2j("자모=字母"))
'ㅈㅏ\x00ㅁㅗ\x00=字母'

This isn't really the best, probably.

Add a function to translate enclosed cjk to hcj. Do the same for half and full width forms

Set jamo up on ReadTheDocs with some nice examples. That would be nice. Korean documentation would be nice too.

It would be nice to have functions that auto-converted:

[0x1112, 0x1161, 0x11ab,
 0x1100, 0x1166, 0x11a8,
 0x1108, 0x1165, 0x0000]
or
['ᄒ', 'ᅡ', 'ᆫ',
 'ᄀ', 'ᅮ', 'ᆨ',
 'ᄋ', 'ᅥ', '\x00']
or
"한국어\x00"
or
['ㅎ', 'ㅏ', 'ㄴ', 'ㄱ', 'ㅜ', 'ㄱ', 'ㅇ', 'ㅓ']
or
"ㅎㅏㄴㄱㅜㄱㅇㅓ"

to

한국어

both ways.

Add the ReadTheDocs link. This should probably happen after #9, though.

example inputs:

ㅎㅏㄴ
ㅎㅏㅎㅏㅎㅏ
Mixing roman characters with jamo: ㅈㅏㅁㅗ

should produce

한
하하하
Mixing roman characters with jamo: 자모

probably a wontfix, but it shouldn't be hard.
