Re: [idn] Question for the Kanji & Hanja cognosentee



If Hangul mapped to Latin letters like Romaji and then
add a number to select one Kanji among a few 
homophones, can this be good enough to idnetify a Hanja
name in DNS?

The same question goes to Bruce Thomson:
Can Romaji be revered back to Kanji-Kana sequece with
near 100% rate (with or without case ending)?
