Hangul Syllables is a Unicode block containing precomposed Hangul syllable blocks for modern Korean. The syllables can be directly mapped by algorithm to sequences of two or three characters in the Hangul Jamo Unicode block: one of U+1100–U+1112: the 19 modern Hangul leading consonant jamos; one of U+1161–U+1175: the 21 modern Hangul vowel ...
Hangul supremacy (Korean: 한글 우월주의) or Hangul scientific supremacy is the claim that the Hangul alphabet is the simplest and most logical writing system in the world. [ 71 ] Proponents of the claim believe Hangul is the most scientific writing system because its characters are based on the shapes of the parts of the human body used ...
Korean syllable structure is maximally CGVC, where G is a glide /j, w, ɰ/. (There is a unique off-glide diphthong in the character 의 that combines the sounds [ɯ] and [i] creating [ɰ]). [5] Any consonant except /ŋ/ may occur initially, but only /p, t, k, m, n, ŋ, l/ may occur finally. Sequences of two consonants may occur between vowels.
The North and South differ on (a) the treatment of composite jamo consonants in syllable-leading (choseong) and -trailing (jongseong) position, and (b) on the treatment of composite jamo vowels in syllable-medial (jungseong) position. This first sequence is official in South Korea (and is the basic binary order of codepoints in Unicode):
Origin of Hangul. The inscription on a statue of King Sejong, illustrating the original forms of the letters. It reads 세종대왕, Sejong Daewang. Note the dots on the vowels, the geometric symmetry of s and j in the first two syllables, the asymmetrical lip at the top-left of the d in the third, and the distinction between initial and final ...

After characters were introduced to Korea to write Literary Chinese, they were adapted to write Korean as early as the Gojoseon period. Hanja-eo (한자어, 漢字 語) refers ...
It contains Korean Hangul syllables, CJK ideographs (Hanja), Greek, Cyrillic, Japanese (Hiragana and Katakana) and some other characters. KS X 1001 is arranged as a 94×94 table, following the structure of 2-byte code words in ISO 2022 and EUC. Therefore, its code points are pairs of integers 1–94.
Initial sound rule (Korean: 두음법칙; Hanja: 頭音法則; RR: dueum beopchik ) is series of changes to hangul, the writing system for the Korean language, made in South Korea to better reflect modern Korean phonology. The changes affect syllable-initial ㄹ r and ㄴ n sounds in Sino-Korean vocabulary under certain conditions.
