You don't need to use another conversion key.  F9 should be able to
convert a word as well.  Now, byeoru-dic.scm does not have any word
information.  Probably, you are referring to the following part of the
dictionary.

    ...
    ("경"
     ("京" . "서울 경")
    ...

Here, the Chinese letter "京" is a candidate for the sound "경", and
"서울 경" is a comment explaining the meaning of "京".  "서울 경" is
how we usually call this letter "京" in Korea.  You will see how it
works if you try to convert 경.

If you want to do the conversion 서울 to 京, then you can insert an
entry into byeoru-dic.scm like

    ("서울" "京")

where "京" is a candidate for "서울".

By the way, I found that there was a freely available Korean-Chinese
dictionary containing more than 20000 words, gathered by Changwoo Ryu.
I will try to contact this person.
