Korean Writing System

The modern Korean writing system is remarkably logical, consistent, and well‑designed. This module implements the fundamental structure of Hangul: decomposing syllables into jamo and composing jamo back into syllables.

Special thanks to Joe Becker, Lee Collins, Mark Davis, and the teams who created and maintain Unicode.
