When you select ranges of fonts to embed, the list of selected fonts is stored and maintained as an external XML file and resides in the user configuration folder. It is named Unicode_Table.xml and contains the one-to-many relationship between a particular language and all the necessary Unicode glyph ranges as shown in the following Korean examples.
The font set groupings are based on the Unicode Blocks as defined by the Unicode Consortium. To provide a simpler workflow, when you select a particular language, all related glyph ranges are embedded even if they are scattered into disjointed groupings.
For example, if you select Korean, the following Unicode character ranges are embedded:
3131‑318E Hangul symbols
3200‑321C Hangul specials
3260‑327B Hangul specials
327F‑327F Korean symbol
AC00‑D7A3 Hangul symbols
If you select Korean + CJK, a larger font set is embedded:
3131‑318E Hangul symbols
3200‑321C Hangul specials
3260‑327B Hangul specials
327F‑327F Korean symbol
4E00‑9FA5 CJK symbols
AC00‑D7A3 Hangul symbols
F900‑FA2D CJK symbols
