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.

Tips for making a chosung quiz?

Paste movie titles, proverbs, or lyrics and copy the result—multiple lines convert line by line.
