Korean Alphabet
The Korean alphabet, called hangeul, was developed during the 15th century. Educated and upper class Koreans, however, continued to use hanja, the Chinese alphabet, rather than hangeul, whose characters represented the shape of the mouth when the sound was made. During the late 1800's and early 1900s, a mixed system developed that incorporated characters from both hanja and hangeul. After World War II, hanja fell out of fashion, although today both North Korean and South Korean schools require 1800-2000 hanja characters to be learned by the end of high school.Omniglot: Korean-
