Whenever you see a vowel such as this: \uc544<\/strong>, you’ll see a circle right before the vowel. All vowels have this feature. However, when vowels are combined with consonants, they lose this feature.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at a two letter word: \ub098<\/strong>. This word is written correctly because it starts with a consonant followed by a vowel. A three letter word such as: \uc124<\/strong>, will have a consonant-vowel-consonant order. A four letter word such as \uc2eb<\/strong>, will have a consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant order. The most that a single word can be stacked together is 4 letters.<\/p>\n

When there’s a vertical vowel, like \uc544<\/strong>, the placeholder is always located to the left of the vertical vowel. You can determine whether a vowel is vertical by looking at the main stem. The main stem is vertical, or looks upright. In the example above, this would be the main stem: l<\/strong>. If the add the arm to the main stem it would look like this:\u314f<\/strong>. Remember to ignore the arms and the placeholder to determine whether the vowel is vertical. Just look at the main stem. Here are some other examples of vertical vowels: \uc57c<\/strong>, \uc5b4<\/strong>, \uc5ec<\/strong>, \uc774<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When the vowel is a horizontal vowel, the placeholder will be above the main stem. Take a vowel like this: \uc6b0<\/strong>. The main stem is: \u315c<\/strong> . Without the arm it would be just: –<\/strong>. Notice how the main stem is horizontal. This is what is categorized as a horizontal vowel. Just like the vertical vowel, the placeholder acts as a silent consonant. Here are some other examples of horizontal vowels: \uc720<\/strong>, \uc624<\/strong>, \uc694<\/strong>, \uc73c<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One thing I want to make clear is that a word like this: \uc559<\/strong> or \uc751<\/strong> has only one placeholder. The placeholder is always located in a higher region of the stacked letters. It’s never located below. When you see a circle character located below, this is an actual consonant that makes an “ng” sound. (Remember that placeholders are silent.) So \uc559<\/strong> is pronounced as “ang” and \uc751<\/strong> is pronounced as “ung”.<\/p>\n
