Style for counter in ordered list using Korean character. #22
Description
According to https://drafts.csswg.org/css-counter-styles/ , when using Korean characters to create an ordered list, it should look like:
일, XXXX
이, XXXX
삼, XXXX
As opposed to
일. XXXX
이. XXXX
삼. XXXX
which is same as Latin text layout for a. b. c. and such.
Is this correct that Korean text use "," instead of "." and should this different being included in klreq? See also w3c/jlreq#12 and w3c/clreq#158

As far as I understand, comma and dots are both used and there are no standard when the list is enumerated using "일, 이, 삼, ...".
Off-topic, the proposal actually lacks some counter styles used in Korean texts. "cjk-earthly-branch" and "cjk-heavenly-stem" requires its Hangul equivalent. Also, there should be a "korean-hangul-informal" too. The explicit "일" for addressing 1 * 10^n could be omitted in informal usage. For example, 11 could be "일십일" in korean-hangul-formal, "십일" in korean-hangul-informal (note the lack of "일").
What should be included there in Alphabetic class are:
Enumeration using consonant + vowel ㅏ:
가. XXXX
나. XXXX
다. XXXX
Enumeration using consonant only:
ㄱ. XXXX
ㄴ. XXXX
ㄷ. XXXX
In both cases, plain dot should be used. (https://www.korean.go.kr/front/page/pageView.do?page_id=P000192&mn_id=30 paragraph 4)

According to the description, it appears that css counter style level 3 is only intended to include predefinition of counter styles that were included in css 2/2.1, and also a few complex counter styles, with another document https://www.w3.org/TR/predefined-counter-styles/ have been created to include other additional counter styles for various languages, which have included both
and
in the document.

It still lacks Hangul equivalent of cjk-earthly-branch, cjk-heavenly-stem. For cjk-decimal, as U+3001 is not used in Korean horizontal writing as a separator (see also #13), it needs to be addressed.

@peremen i just came across this thread again. Seems it got lost. Would you be able to raise a PR in https://github.com/w3c/predefined-counter-styles for the code to use for the styles you mention just above? Or, if you prefer, write the counter-style definitions in this thread and i'll port to the document.
