What is a keyboard for writing with Korean letters and characters?
It’s very easy to write in Korean with the methods we will give you. You won’t need to do an intensive course or anything like that, you just have to adjust your equipment to it. To type in Korean you have to modify the keyboard you use regularly, you can do it with the help of programs and some settings.
Something very basic that you have to keep in mind is to know that Korean is not written in our letters. Currently, most devices (mobiles, computers, tablets and others) have support for this language (Korean), although there are clearly some exceptions.
As you can see, the letters of your normal alphabet can be matched with the help of the image below with those of the language. Although many of the online programs show you a keyboard with both letters that serve as a guide, some others only visualize those of the selected language.
The first and most important thing to understand to write is that, unlike our keyboard, that vowels and consonants are scattered everywhere, it structures them separately.
On the left side are the consonants and on the right the vowels.
The consonants in Korea (I mean the keyboard) are:
- q> shift + q,
- w> shift + w,
- e> shift + e,
- r> shift + r ,
- t> shift + t,
- a, s, d, f, g, z, x, c, yv (the rest are vowels).
