04 / KOREAN KEYBOARD

Korean keyboard layout and the 2-set (dubeolsik) basics

The standard Korean layout is the 2-set layout (두벌식, dubeolsik): consonants on the left, vowels on the right. Type the consonant, then the vowel, then a final consonant (batchim) if the syllable needs one.

Typing examples on a PC

사랑: T → K → F → K → D
커피: Z → J → V → L
빵: Shift + Q → K → D

For 빵 (bread), the first consonant ㅃ is typed by holding Shift and pressing Q.

Different words, same layout

Whatever the word, the keys stay in the same place.
