php Korean URL Slug

Question

I do url slugging by replacing(similar to this). My problem is that in Korean language connected words make problem for me:

// Korean
'ㄱ'=>'k','ㅋ'=>'kh','ㄲ'=>'kk','ㄷ'=>'t','ㅌ'=>'th','ㄸ'=>'tt','ㅂ'=>'p',
'ㅍ'=>'ph','ㅃ'=>'pp','ㅈ'=>'c','ㅊ'=>'ch','ㅉ'=>'cc','ㅅ'=>'s','ㅆ'=>'ss',
'ㅎ'=>'h','ㅇ'=>'ng','ㄴ'=>'n','ㄹ'=>'l','ㅁ'=>'m', 'ㅏ'=>'a','ㅓ'=>'e','ㅗ'=>'o',
'ㅜ'=>'wu','ㅡ'=>'u','ㅣ'=>'i','ㅐ'=>'ay','ㅔ'=>'ey','ㅚ'=>'oy','ㅘ'=>'wa','ㅝ'=>'we',
'ㅟ'=>'wi','ㅙ'=>'way','ㅞ'=>'wey','ㅢ'=>'uy','ㅑ'=>'ya','ㅕ'=>'ye','ㅛ'=>'oy',
'ㅠ'=>'yu','ㅒ'=>'yay','ㅖ'=>'yey',

the problem is that korean characters combine and make new characters: 및 which is made of three characters. so how to slug korean urls?

it's not permitted as per the RFC mentioned in the answer I linked to. — Marc B, Dec 02 '13 at 14:32
check if http://php.net/iconv can help (with the //TRANSLIT parameter) — , Dec 02 '13 at 15:25

First of all, you need to extract the three characters building up the one. So ('ㅁ', 'ㅣ', 'ㅊ') extracted from 및

I found some useful links (assuming unicode), however I didn't test any of the codes listed below:

If you manage to extract the three characters, I think the remaining part is simple. Here is a Google link to start searching by yourself.
