Hangul Jamo

U+1100 – U+11FF   (4352–4607)

Hangul is the writing system that is used for the Korean language. There are more Hangul characters in the Hangul Compatibility Jamo, Hangul Jamo Extended-A, Hangul Jamo Extended-B and Hangul Syllables ranges. You can find some real Korean text to try at http://www.microsoft.com/Korea/ and http://www.applecomputer.co.kr/. You can see some Unicode Korean on the What is Unicode? in Korean page.

Users of Internet Explorer 5 for Windows can choose to install updates for viewing Korean Web pages and to provide a Korean interface and a Korean IME.

Users of Macintosh computers running Mac OS 9 can install an Apple Language Kit for Korean, which includes an IME.

The characters that appear in the first column of the following table depend on the browser that you are using, the fonts installed on your computer, and the browser options you have chosen that determine the fonts used to display particular character sets, encodings or languages.

You can find some or all of the characters in this range in the Windows Unicode fonts Arial Unicode MS, Batang, BatangChe, Code2000, Gungsuh, GungsuhChe, New Gulim, UnBatang, WenQuanYi Zen Hei, and WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono; and in the Macintosh OS X Unicode fonts AppleGothic, AppleMyungjo, Batang, #GothicMedium, Gulim, #GungSeo, Hangang, #HeadLineA, Malgun Gothic, #MyungjoNeue, #PCMyungjo, #PilGi, Seoul, Sun-ExtA and #TaeGraphic.

To see exactly which characters are included in a particular font, you can use a utility such as Andrew West’s BabelMap, or WunderMoosen’s FontChecker.
