1. Introduction
For foreign language characters, it is easier if you can enter them using the candidate selection. Hangul has a total of 11,172 letters, but the most commonly used is around 2,350 (Wansung Type). If all Hangul is the input target, 28 candidates are required for a set of a consonant and a vowel, and it is difficult to select the letter you want to enter. However, when targeting the Wansung type, I found that the maximum number of candidates was 18, and Hangul text could be input rhythmically.
If you are looking for a good Hangul keyboard for iPhone, please use it.

2. Features
(1) You can easily enter Hangul by using the candidate selection of Basic Hangul* .
(2) You dont have to worry about the vowel combinations. Because all 21 vowels are treated evenly.
(3) You can input Hangul rhythmically. Because the screen switching between consonants and vowels is automatic.
(4) There is less strain on the fingers. Because the frequently used Hangul and jamos are adjusted to positions that are easy to tap.
(5) There is no Hangul that cannot be entered.
(6) Korean-Kanji also available. You can type the name of your favorite Korean star in Kanji.
(7) There are also input modes for Numbers, English, Symbols, so switching to other keyboards is rare.
(8) Convert tool Japanese Kanji to Hangul is added to the app.

*Basic Hangul is a set of Hangul with 47 letters added to 2,350 Wansung type Hangul.
