Why was Hangul built in blocks?

Hangul letters combine into compact cells, one for each syllable.

The first record of Hunminjeongeum, the Korean alphabet later called Hangul, dates to 1443; a book explaining its principles appeared in 1446. Before it, Korean was written with Chinese characters and adapted systems called Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal. These systems represented Korean with Chinese characters and were difficult for many people to learn.

Hangul was designed to make reading and writing Korean easier. Its alphabetic jamo—letters that represent sounds—fit into syllable blocks alongside Hanja, the Chinese characters also used in Korean writing. Hangul later appeared in religious and practical publications, daily writing, and official documents, and gained official national status in 1894. Hanja is a historical co-script, not a source of 럀’s meaning.
