How to Type Korean (Hangul) Online
Typnivo opens with a 두벌식 (2-set) virtual keyboard — the standard layout used in Korea. Click Hangul keys on screen or type with your physical keyboard (QWERTY hints show which English key maps to each jamo). For romanization, switch to the English → Korean tab: type words as they sound (annyeonghaseyo, saranghae) and press space to convert to syllable blocks. The Unicode editor lets you paste and edit existing Korean text.

Revised Romanization (RR) Typing Guide
Revised Romanization is the official romanization standard in South Korea. Type phonetically: annyeong → 안녕, saranghae → 사랑해. Digraphs include eo, eu, ae, and ui. Tense consonants use doubled letters (kk, tt, pp, ss, jj). Press space after each word to commit conversion.
| Digraph | Jamo | Note |
|---|---|---|
| eo | ㅓ | sun → seo-ul (서울) |
| eu | ㅡ | music → eum-ak (음악) |
| ae | ㅐ | egg → gyeran (계란) |
| ui | ㅢ | ui → 의 |
| kk | ㄲ | tense g → kk |

Hangul Alphabet Chart
Hangul syllables combine an initial consonant (초성), vowel (중성), and optional final consonant (종성). Vowel-initial syllables use a silent ㅇ, as in annyeong (an + nyeong → 안 + 녕). Use the Syllable Builder panel to explore how blocks are formed.
| Consonant | RR | Example |
|---|---|---|
| ㄱ | g / k | gang → 강 |
| ㄴ | n | nun → 눈 |

두벌식 (2-set) vs 세벌식 (3-set) Keyboard
The 두벌식 (2-set) layout is the default on Korean Windows and macOS keyboards — consonants and vowels on separate keys. Typnivo uses 2-set for the virtual keyboard. 세벌식 (3-set) is an alternative layout used by some power users; 3-set support may be added in a future update.
| Key | Jamo | Shift |
|---|---|---|
| Q | ㅂ | ㅃ |
| W | ㅈ | ㅉ |

| # | Native Korean | Sino-Korean |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 하나 | 일 |
| 2 | 둘 | 이 |
| 3 | 셋 | 삼 |
| 4 | 넷 | 사 |
| 5 | 다섯 | 오 |

Frequently asked questions
Korean keyboard, input methods, and privacy — answered clearly.
How do I type Korean on an English keyboard?
Use Typnivo's English → Korean mode. Type Revised Romanization (annyeonghaseyo, saranghae) and press space after each word. No Korean IME installation required.
What is Revised Romanization?
Revised Romanization (RR) is South Korea's official system for writing Korean in Latin letters. It replaced McCune-Reischauer for most public uses in 2000.
Can I type Korean on my phone without installing an IME?
Yes. Open Typnivo on your phone and use the virtual keyboard sheet or English → Korean compose mode. Switch modes in the toolbar — on first visit, desktop opens in keyboard mode; mobile users can choose either tab.
How do Hangul syllables work?
Each syllable block combines an initial consonant + vowel + optional final consonant. For example, ㄱ+ㅏ+ㄴ = 간 (gan). Vowel-initial syllables add a silent ㅇ.
