Script Basics: Hangul
However, not all programs can use all fonts & Word is one of the more finicky apps around. It may very well be a type of font that Word simply cannot use. Follow the procedure here for clearing up potential font issues, then shut down your Mac. Wait for a moment before starting up, then see if Word recognizes the font. 6 These fonts are present in Mac OS X only if Classic is installed (thanks to Julian Gonggrijp for the corrections). How the fonts look in different systems and browsers Mac OS X 10.4.8, Firefox 2.0, font smoothing enabled (thanks to Juris Vecvanags for the screen shot).
Korean is primarily written in a phonetic based syllabic alphabet called Hangul (한글) which was invented in the 1440s to replace older writing systems based on the Chinese script.

Each symbol in Hangul is a actually a composite which includes a consonant and following vowel and additional sounds. See the links below for more information on Hangul.
For instance 한 'han' is a combination of ㅎ 'h' on the top, ㅏ 'a' on the side and ㄴ 'l' on the bottom. Similarly 글 is a combination of ㄱ 'g' + ᅳ 'u' + ㄹ 'l' from top to bottom.

Like other syllabaries, Hangul has a relatively large inventory of individual characters corresponding to possible consonant plus vowel combinations. In addition, slightly under 2,000 Chinese characters are still used to some extent, so encoding systems must include these as well.
Romaja
When Korean is transliterated to the Western alphabet, it is called Romaja and is similar to Japanese Romāji.
