What is the Korean Keyboard?

This online Korean keyboard lets you type in Hangul (한글), the Korean alphabet, using your regular QWERTY keyboard. It uses the standard 두벌식 (Dubeolsik) layout, which is the most common keyboard layout used in South Korea.

Korean Keyboard Layout

The 두벌식 (2-set) layout places consonants on the left side and vowels on the right side of the keyboard. This mirrors how Korean syllables are structured: consonant + vowel (+ optional final consonant).

  • Left hand (consonants): ㅂㅈㄷㄱㅅ, ㅁㄴㅇㄹㅎ, ㅋㅌㅊㅍ
  • Right hand (vowels): ㅛㅕㅑㅐㅔ, ㅗㅓㅏㅣ, ㅠㅜㅡ
  • Shift keys: Hold Shift for double consonants (ㅃㅉㄸㄲㅆ) and compound vowels (ㅒㅖ)

How Korean Typing Works

Korean characters are automatically composed as you type. When you press consonants and vowels in sequence, they combine into syllable blocks. For example:

  • ㅎ + ㅏ + ㄴ → 한 (han)
  • ㄱ + ㅜ + ㄱ → 국 (guk)
  • ㅇ + ㅓ → 어 (eo)

Tips for Typing Korean

  • Type naturally: Just type the sounds in order. The keyboard automatically composes syllables.
  • Use Shift for tense consonants: ㅃ, ㅉ, ㄸ, ㄲ, ㅆ require the Shift key.
  • Double vowels: ㅒ (Shift+O) and ㅖ (Shift+P) also need Shift.
  • Space commits the syllable: Press space to finish a word and start a new one.
