Yes it did.  The system fell out of use shortly after the introduction
of the Hangul, but originally tone was marked with dots placed to the
lower left of the syllable.  The correspondances were:  no dots = low 
pitch, one dot = high pitch, two dots = rising pitch (according to
S. Robert Ramsey's article "Proto-Korean and the Origin of Korean 
Accent").
