Dubeolsik turns those keys into ㄴ, ㅜ, and ㄲ, then combines them in one block. Hangul blocks place an initial consonant, a vowel, and sometimes a final consonant together. Font design can change the parts' shapes, placement, and size without changing the character.

Hangul was created to write Korean speech and make reading easier; early descriptions also covered Chinese sounds. The Sejong Shilok, a chronicle of King Sejong's reign, records its creation in 1443. Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the new script, was published in 1446 and explained its design and use. Hangul developed alongside Chinese-character writing, but uses its own letters. In 1894, the Joseon government recognized it as a national script, after elites had treated it as low-status writing. South Korea commonly calls the script Hangul; North Korea calls it Chosŏn'gŭl.
