Dear Professor Lewis,

While I am not sure what you specifically mean by 'Middle Korean', HCR 
Batang font worked on MS Word manuscripts for my paper ("Reassessing the 
Historical Significance of Chung-kuk/Chung-kuo(Zhongguo) 中國 in East 
Asian Historiography – Featuring an Analysis of Hunmin chŏng'ŭm 訓民正音") 
in inserting chŏng'ŭm 正音 transcription as in the so-called Hunmin 
chŏng'ŭm ŏn-hae 訓民正音諺解. It worked for tone marks (聲調) (“·” or “:” on the 
left of the letter where applicable) as well.
For your reference, I utilized 어듸메 (https://akorn.bab2min.pe.kr/) for 
some of the chŏng'ŭm transcription.

Best regards,
CHUN Jihoon
