ISO/TR 11941 explained

ISO/TR 11941:1996 is a Korean romanization system used in International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is not commonly used. One example of its use is in Unicode character names. The standard was withdrawn in December 2013.

It appears to be modelled on the Revised Romanization, cf. the vowels.
