Korean script, known as Hangul, is the writing system used for the Korean language. It was created in the 15th century by King Sejong the Great and his scholars to promote literacy among common people. Hangul consists of 14 basic consonants and 10 basic vowels, which can be combined to form syllables. Each syllable in Hangul is represented by a block that contains one or more letters. The script is phonetic, meaning it closely represents the sounds of the language. Hangul is praised for its simplicity and efficiency, making it accessible for learners of all ages.
