Yes! Much better with default features. Only missing is
allowing line break between characters.

On the other hand, as script tag "hang" denotes "Hangul"
according to opentype specification, it would be confusing
to use this name for Chinese typesetting.  See:

The example provided by Wolfgang and corrected by me seems to be
sufficient for simple testing.  It contains Hangul, Chinese characters,
parentheses, commas, and Latin fullstops.
Only Latin words are missing; so how about this?

    나라의 말이 중국과 달라서 한자(chinese characters)로는
