There are master lists of unicode characters out there on the web, which
you could use as your reference if you needed. You can find your
references at:

http://www.unicode.org/
which is the master organization for it.

The lists of various character sets are at:

http://www.unicode.org/charts/

and the specific lists you are looking (as PDF Files) for are at:

Hangul Compatibility Jamo: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U3130.pdf
Hangul Jamo: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1100.pdf
Hangul Syllables (7MB): http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UAC00.pdf

Now for the scary thought of the day -- there are multiple versions of
unicode (v2.0 was released in 1996, v3.2 which is current was released
in 2002 and comprises 103,671 assigned characters -- with 1,010,440
characters still unassigned!)

When working with ASCII text, one can convert a letter to its MacRoman
numerical equivalent, and back, for example:

return ASCII number of "a"
--> 97
return ASCII character 97
--> "a"

I need to be able to do this same action with Unicode, because I need
to decompose some Hangul characters, which are highly logically
organized in Unicode, so, given the number, I could figure out the
composition of the syllable. (eg, break "an-nyeong" into "a" "n" "n"
"yeo" "ng").

Is there any way to get the Unicode number of a character and/or (in
case I need it later) get a Unicode character based on its number? If
there isn't such a command....Chris N./E.? Tim? Any chance of this in
an update for AppleScript?

I've searched the archives and think I saw the question asked once
before, but never found an answer to the question.
