Korean Keyboard Online – Type Hangul Without a Korean Keyboard

This online Korean keyboard lets you type Hangul on any computer or phone keyboard. In Dubeolsik mode, press the keys where the Korean letters sit on a standard Korean keyboard (d = ㅇ, k = ㅏ, s = ㄴ), exactly as Koreans type, and the letters are assembled into syllable blocks automatically. If you do not know the layout, switch to romanization mode and type how the word sounds, such as annyeong for 안녕.

How to use this tool

1. Choose Dubeolsik key positions (exact) or romanization (approximate).
2. Type in the box; the Hangul appears below as you type.
3. Use Shift + Q, W, E, R, T, O, P for the double consonants and ㅒ, ㅖ.
4. Copy the Hangul and paste it where you need it.

Formula

Syllable = initial consonant + vowel (+ final consonant). Two vowels combine (ㅗ + ㅏ = ㅘ), two final consonants combine (ㄹ + ㄱ = ㄺ), and a final consonant moves to the next syllable when a vowel follows.

This is the same composition rule a Korean input method uses. Each finished block is a Unicode Hangul syllable built as 0xAC00 + (initial × 21 + vowel) × 28 + final. Romanization mode reads Revised Romanization letters (eo, eu, ae, ch, kk …) and decides syllable breaks by itself.

Example

Typing dkssudgktpdy gives 안녕하세요: d-k-s = 안, s-u-d = 녕, g-k = 하, t-p = 세, d-y = 요. In romanization mode annyeonghaseyo gives the same result, and hangeul gives 한글.
