To all those using Macs:
Same as not too long ago with the release of Apple's OS "El Capitan" I
like to issue a warning to upgrade to the new macOS (Sierra) -- to be
coming in September.
IN SHORT:
There is no regular way to produce Hanja under macOS (Sierra) -- there
is *no* regular workaround.
In the case of "El Capitan" there was at least a workaround that
Michael Prentice had been so kind of post:
http://koreanstudies.com/pipermail/koreanstudies_koreanstudies.com/2015-October/024203.html
The new macOS (Sierra), though -- I just tested the pre-release version
-- made major changes in its code structure as regards to keyboard
drivers. "Karabiner" is NOT working anymore, and the makers of that
application have indicated that it would likely take them a long time
to rewrite their code (see here:
https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner/issues/660). There is presently NO
OTHER app that you could use on Sierra to do the same.
I've filed a feedback report with Apple about this. But since they
already had almost a year to fix that same issue under "El Capitan" and
did not bother, maybe Hanja is dead when it comes to Korean language.
Given its present non-use in both Koreas that only makes sense.
Best,
Frank
