The 14 basic consonants in dictionary order. These are standalone jamo — when you type Korean, they automatically compose into syllable blocks like 가 and 나.
The 5 tense (doubled) consonants — each is a single Unicode character, not two letters typed together.

Hangul (한글) is the Korean alphabet, created by King Sejong the Great and promulgated in 1446 — one of the very few scripts in the world with a known inventor and birthday. It is a true alphabet of 40 letters (jamo): 19 consonants and 21 vowels, of which 14 consonants and 10 vowels are considered basic. Unlike Latin letters, jamo are not written in a line. They stack into square syllable blocks: ㄱ + ㅏ = 가 (ga), ㅎ + ㅏ + ㄴ = 한 (han). The word 한글 itself is two such blocks built from six jamo.
The standalone letters on this page come from the Unicode Hangul Compatibility Jamo block (U+3130–U+318F), which is exactly what you want for copying individual letters — study notes, linguistics posts, usernames, or the deliberately deconstructed style like ㅋㅋㅋ (laughter) and ㅠㅠ (crying eyes) that dominates Korean texting. Composed syllables like 가 and 힣 live in a separate block, Hangul Syllables (U+AC00–U+D7A3), which contains all 11,172 precomposed combinations the modern jamo can form. Both blocks render correctly on Instagram, TikTok, Discord, X, and every modern phone.
When you type on a real Korean keyboard, you never pick syllable blocks from a list — you press jamo keys and the input method composes blocks automatically, deciding whether a consonant starts a new syllable or closes the previous one as a final (batchim). That is why copying jamo from this chart is best for individual letters and abbreviations, while actual words are faster to produce with the online Korean keyboard, which handles the composition for you as you type.
Yes. Both standalone jamo and composed syllables are standard Unicode, and Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and X display them correctly in bios, captions, and display names. Some platforms restrict account handles to Latin letters and numbers, in which case Hangul will paste but be rejected when you save. On any modern device the letters themselves render fine.
The characters on this page are compatibility jamo — standalone display forms meant to be shown individually. Pasting ㄱ next to ㅏ produces ㄱㅏ, not 가, because composition happens inside a Korean input method, not in the text itself. To get real syllable blocks, type with the online Korean keyboard, which composes 가, 나, 한 automatically as you press letters.
The modern alphabet has 40 jamo: 14 basic consonants, 5 double consonants, 10 basic vowels, and 11 compound vowels. Dictionaries sometimes cite 24, counting only the basic consonants and vowels from which the rest are built. This page includes all 40, so every letter you might need to copy is here in dictionary order.
They are texting shorthand built from bare jamo. ㅋ is the k sound, so ㅋㅋㅋ imitates laughter, like "kkk" or "lol". ㅠ is the vowel yu, and ㅠㅠ looks like two streaming tears, meaning crying or frustration. Others include ㅇㅇ (yes), ㄴㄴ (no no), and ㄱㄱ (go go). Copy them straight from the consonant and vowel sections above.
Names are converted by sound into full syllable blocks, so copying jamo one at a time will not work. Our Name in Korean tool transliterates an English name automatically — for example, Emma becomes 엠마. For anything longer, the free online Korean keyboard gives you the standard 2-set (두벌식) layout in your browser with automatic syllable composition.
