Hunminjungum Keypad

Old Hangul in our daily life! The Hunminjungum Keypad takes the step together.

This application is 'Hunminjungum Keypad [Hangul]' that supports the input of Old Hangul, but in the actual text service, it provides only the input of modern Hangul.

The Old Hangul has been used for hundreds of years after King Sejong the Great created 훈민져ᇰᅙᅳᆷ, but in modern Korean society, it has not been used in the life of the public for decades and is forgotten.

However, many people tried to restore the Old Hangul digitally, and through these efforts, the Old Hangul standard was established in Unicode and several Old Hangul programs and fonts were developed to implement this standard.

This application supports the Unicode Old Hangul standard and was designed to make people familiar with Old Hangul.

Now the Old Hangul is ready to return to our daily life. Do you want to experience the Old Hangul? Then let's get started.

■ Input mode

Hunminjungum Keypad provides Hunminjungum mode where you can input Hangul and Old Hangul, and Hangul mode where you can input only Hangul. When Hunminjungum Keypad application operates in the foreground, both the Hunminjungum mode and Hangul mode are activated, but when operating in the background and is used for the actual text service, only the Hangul mode is activated. This is to prevent the transmission of Old Hangul by mistake in the actual text service, since most systems in Korean society only process the input of Hangul. Default is Hangul mode.

■ Standard type and Simple type

When the input mode is decided, the Standard type Keypad, in which all the letter buttons of consonants and vowels are displayed, and the Simple type Keypad, in which stroke-added letters are hidden around the starting (representative) letters of the consonants, are provided.

■ Input of Hangul and Old Hangul

Hunminjungum Keypad provides 17 basic consonants and 11 basic vowels as buttons. Therefore, there is generally no need to learn how to input by combining letters. Just press the consonants and vowels as they appear and input them. To input stroke-added letters in the Simple type Keypad, press the starting letters ㄱ, ㄴ, ㅁ, ㅅ, ㅇ and then push to the direction in which the stroke-added letters appear.

■ Input of double consonants

In the initial consonant, you can input double consonants by pressing the consonant button twice.

By pressing the shift(⇧) button, you can explicitly input double consonants in both the initial and final consonants.

■ Toggle input of vowels

ㅗ, ㅏ, ㅜ, ㅓ, and ㅛ, ㅑ, ㅠ, ㅕ are toggled each time the button is pressed.

■ Selection input of vowels in Hunminjungum mode

Among the Old Hangul vowels, letters like ᆂ require two consecutive input of ㅗ. For this, if you press and hold the button of ㅛ after entering ㅗ, a popup of candidate letters appears. Select ㅗ and input it. Old Hangul vowels that require such input through candidate popup are ᆂ, ᆇ, ᆍ, ᆓ, ᆥ, and ힿ (ㅣ + ㅕ).
