Note: [1][2]
Range used for Hangul syllables prior to Unicode 2.0 (see Hangul (obsolete Unicode block)).

The block has dozens of variation sequences defined for standardized variants.[4]

It also has thousands of ideographic variation sequences registered in the Unicode Ideographic Variation Database (IVD).[5][6] These sequences specify the desired glyph variant for a given Unicode character.
