Korean Keyboard Online
Type Hangul right here — nothing to install, nothing to configure. Use your own keyboard or click the keys below, then copy the result.
Shift gives you the double consonants (ㅃ ㅉ ㄸ ㄲ ㅆ) and ㅒ ㅖ. Your physical keyboard works too — this is the standard 2-set (두벌식) layout Koreans use.
How Korean typing actually works
The standard Korean layout is called 두벌식 (2-set): consonants live on the left half of the keyboard, vowels on the right. Your fingers alternate hands for almost every syllable, which is why Korean typists are fast.
The part that surprises learners is syllable blocks. Korean doesn't write letters in a line — it packs 2 to 4 letters into a square. Type ㄱ, then ㅏ, then ㅁ and you get 감, not ㄱㅏㅁ. This page runs the same composition logic a real Korean input method uses, including the tricky part: when you add a vowel after a final consonant, that consonant jumps to the next block. Type 한 then ㄱ then ㅜ and you get 한구, not 한ㄱ우.
Learning the layout? Start with the vowels on your right hand — ㅏ (k), ㅓ (j), ㅗ (h), ㅜ (n), ㅣ (l). Those five cover most of what you'll type, and everything else is a variation on them.
FAQ
- Do I need to install a Korean keyboard?
- No. This page composes Hangul syllables in your browser, so you can type Korean on any computer — including one you don't control, like a library or office machine.
- Why do the letters change shape as I type?
- Hangul is written in syllable blocks, not left to right like the Latin alphabet. As you type a consonant then a vowel, they combine into one block: ㅎ + ㅏ + ㄴ becomes 한.
- How do I type double consonants like ㅆ?
- Hold Shift (or tap the Shift key on the virtual keyboard) — Shift+t gives ㅆ, Shift+r gives ㄲ, and so on. Pressing the same key twice does not produce a double consonant.
