My immediate guess would be that it is something like
http://www.page-view.jp/sample/korea/img/pdf/0002.pdf . It could of
course be cut down, as the consonants derive from 9 basic consonants
by diacritics (not perfectly regular) or gemination, and yodicisation
of the vowel is shown by doubling the short stroke in the vowel (is
that a diacritic?). The trick is just to show the CV combinations.
