Why on earth would there be a barred-h in a Korean font???
BTW: barred-h is my favourite [x] symbol partout. In fact "x" sucks rocks;
the form makes me think of it as a "nothing" symbol, something crossed out
or so. I have been known however to use "x" as a substitute for the wedge
diacritic, even before becoming aware of the Esperantists' x-notation. And
as a substitute for gamma when transcribing Mongolian. The letter
transcribed gamma in Mong. is mostly silent (rather behaves like Maltese
gh<barred> actually!), which probably is why I could live with it...
