Keyboard Details
Korean KORDA Latin (SIL) Keyboard
The Korean KORDA Latin (SIL) keyboard converts Latin letters into hangeul after you press Spacebar. As you type, Latin letters are shown. When you press Spacebar, the letters are converted into a hangeul syllable.
Example: type sam to see sam. Press Spacebar to get 삼.
Pressing Spacebar twice will insert a space.
The letters c, y, and w require you to type another key to get the right jamo for your hangeul syllable. The letter c needs h. The letters y and w need vowels.
