DESCRIPTION

Lang::JA::Kana::Hangul provides conversion from Japanese Kana (Hiragana and Katakana) to Korean Hangul script using phonetic mapping systems designed for different purposes:

- Standard (default): Balanced phonetic conversion for general use - Academic: Academic transliteration following Korean linguistic conventions - Phonetic: Preserves Japanese pronunciation as closely as possible in Hangul - Popular: Common usage in Korean pop culture and media

Note: This module only handles Kana conversion, not Kanji or mixed Kanji+Kana words. Kanji characters are passed through unchanged.
