FAQ
How does the extraction work?
Precomposed Hangul syllables follow the formula 0xAC00 + (initial×21 + medial)×28 + final, so dividing the offset by 588 yields the exact initial consonant.
What happens to Latin letters and digits?
Non-Hangul characters (Latin, digits, spaces, punctuation) pass through unchanged.
