Every Korean keyboard's 한자 key answers a lone consonant with the KS X
1001 symbol palette, and has since 한글 워드프로세서: ㅁ for ※ ○ △ ㈜, ㄴ
for the brackets, ㄹ for the units, ㅇ for the circled numbers. strans
sends that key to the same search as a syllable -- Khanja is Ctrl+H at
strans.c:830, and startsearch seeds the query with whatever ko.c left
pending -- but every one of hanja.dict's 187286 readings is a syllable, so
the popup came up with a query in it and nothing to pick:
ㅁ: 0 candidates
ㄴ: 0 candidates
ㄹ: 0 candidates
한: 99 candidates 韓 漢 寒 限 閑 恨 旱 汗 翰 邯 罕 悍 澣 閒 瀚
libhangul ships that palette beside the Hanja table already imported here:
data/hanja/mssymbol.txt, same commit, same author, same BSD-3 terms, same
key:value:comment format -- and keyed by the compatibility jamo ko.c
already holds, U+3141 for ㅁ. So the engine does not change at all; the
same dictlookup on the same trie now finds something:
ㅁ: 75 candidates ＃ ＆ ＊ ＠ § ※ ☆ ★ ○ ● ◎ ◇ ◆ □ ■ △ ▲ ▽ ▼
ㄴ: 23 candidates ＂ （ ） ［ ］ ｛ ｝ ‘ ’ “ ” 〔 〕 〈 〉 《 》 「 」
ㄹ: 94 candidates ＄ ％ ￦ Ｆ ′ ″ ℃ Å ￠ ￡ ￥ ¤ ℉ ‰ € ㎕ ㎖ ㎗ ℓ
한: 99 candidates 韓 漢 寒 限 閑 恨 旱 汗 翰 邯 罕 悍 澣 閒 瀚
Both scripts widen by one rule -- a syllable reading gives Hanja, a jamo
reading gives a symbol -- and hanja.src regenerates byte for byte as it
was, because upstream's own non-syllable readings are words like ㄱ자집
whose values were never Hanja and still fall out. 985 of mssymbol.txt's
987 rows survive: its ideographic space and its soft hyphen do not, since
a candidate the popup cannot draw is not a candidate, and the row format
separates candidates with a space besides.
The two keyspaces cannot collide -- one is syllables, one is single jamo --
so the 187286 existing rows are unchanged, byte for byte, and 18 rows join
them. mkhanja takes a source list as mkemoji already does, and keeps each
upstream header, which is why the licence text now appears twice.
89 unit, check-live, check-stress and valgrind all clean. The five new
assertions were checked by breaking the change five ways: dropping
mssymbol.src from SOURCES, letting issymbol keep a formatting character,
letting a jamo reading keep Hanja, widening isjamo to the vowels, and
making mkhanja reject jamo readings. Each fails only the tests that exist
for it.

The import kept only readings of one syllable, so the Hanja search could
convert 한 but never 한자, 학교, or 대한민국 — the conversion every other
Korean input method offers. libhangul's table has 187k readings; both
scripts now keep them all, and the search finds a word as readily as a
syllable. The daemon pays for it: 24 MB instead of 12, and 170 ms to
start instead of 30.
