Before Hangul was created in 1443, Koreans used Chinese characters, which were too complex for commoners. King Sejong designed Hangul secretly so that everyone, regardless of class, could easily read and write.
Hangul is a feat of phonetic engineering. Consonants like "ㄱ", "ㄴ", "ㅁ" mimic the tongue, mouth, and throat shapes during articulation. This unique property makes it one of the easiest alphabets to learn.
The vowels of Hangul are built from three simple shapes representing cosmic elements: a dot (•) for Heaven, a horizontal line (ㅡ) for Earth, and a vertical line (ㅣ) for Man. All vowels are combinations of these.
