I was just looking online and saw a cute picture of Ha Rang. Then I started getting interesting and looking. So..how would you write the surname “Kim” in Korean? As in Kim Junsu and Kim Jaejoong? Because in the keyboard it doesn’t have a character that looks like the arrow thing of “Kim”.
How to type Kim:
1. Put keyboard on Korean setting
2. r+l+a= 김
This letter ㄱ (r) makes the first part in Kim. It is written with a curve when it is placed on the side with another letter, for example Ki in Dong Bang Shin Ki :
기
but when another letter is placed on top or above it, it stays normal, for example Kyu in SJ member Kyuhyun”
규
I hope this helps!

At First I Thoought I Had To Buy A Korean Keyboard!
Kam Sam Nee Da!
This helped me do what i wanted to my computer. It seriously rocks, however, how will i learn what shapes the letters make?
For instance if I were to say “Kyrie” which is my name, how would i write it?
its pronounced K ear (liek what you listen with) and then ie (like the end of kiwi)
This will help a bunch. because stupidly i got a tattoo in Hangul, thinking it was my name, but now i have reason to believe it might NOT be my name. so please, if you can help, it would greatly be apretiated.
Thank you so much.
Hey can teach me how to say
‘ my name is’
Formal (say to older people/people you respect highly of):
‘제이름은 Kim 입니다.’ ‘je i-rum un Kim im-ni-da.’
Informal (say to younger people/your close friends):
‘내 이름은 Kim 야.’ ‘ne i-rum un Kim ya.’
thanks 😀

I am having a problem with ㄱㄱ ㄷㄷ ㅈㅈ ㅂㅂ ㅅㅅ (ssang kiok, ssang tigot, ssang chiot, and ssang shiot) The computer won’t let me type them. Instead it only displays R E W Q T respectively. Any ideas?
OH my god you were soo helpful thanks so much! i have been trying to get my computer to do this and i couldnt figure out what was wrong, but it was just because the language bars hangul/english toggle was on the wrong thing.
고마워요!!
to write oppa without it turning out like that, you have to hold shit so there is a double ‘ㅂ’ like this ‘ㅃ’. So now you can type oppa properly~! ^_~
Oppa (female’s older brother) – 오빠
SHIFT BUTTON is what i mean not sh*t
sorry…>///u///<
may i ask something??? i want to type oppa in korean ~ 옵바..~ its come out like this & i think its wrong~ isnt??~
Thanks, It was really helpful as earlier I tried to download many korean keyboards. But now it helped me a lot. I have tried everything told by you easily. Now I just have to learn about writing the Hanguk.
Thanks again
