Korean input not support under Windows
As the title says. Most unicode language are support such as Chinese, Japanese. But Korean is displayed as []. Please look into this problem
Works fine for me. Are you sure you tried with a font with support for Korean?
PS: I used a korean ttf then works fine. But this font doesn't support other character sets so Chinese is displayed as []. I wonder why Word and other softwares they can display every unicode character under default system font.

I think MSWord might be dynamically using different fonts for different character sets.
A lot of applications (f.ex word, all web browsers) does font switching. For any missing glyph, it would fall back to a font predefined for that unicode block and style.
I don't think such feature would be much used in TB and i have no plan implementing it. To truly support all languages, you would need text shaping (integrating f.ex harfbuzz) and BiDi support. This support would be larger than the entire TB code base. Korean should be fine without that as far as i know though.
Font fallback works automagically on linux with freetype. iirc, windows requires that it be done manually.
