Precomposed Hangul
Modern precomposed syllables in the 가–힣 range are decomposed mathematically.
Other characters
Standalone jamo and non-Hangul characters are preserved rather than guessed or removed.
Text structure
Spaces and line breaks remain in their original positions.
Text stays in your browser
Initial-consonant conversion runs locally and does not send or store the input.
Frequently asked questions
Why are English letters unchanged?
The tool converts precomposed Korean syllables only and intentionally preserves other characters.
Does it create abbreviations automatically?
No. It extracts consonants mechanically and does not decide which syllables should form an abbreviation.
Are spaces and line breaks removed?
No. The original whitespace is preserved.
