The 19 initials are computed from the Unicode Hangul syllable range U+AC00–U+D7A3. Composable input is normalized to NFC first. Pronunciation changes are not applied.
Limits and checks before use
Up to 500,000 characters. Standalone jamo, historical Hangul and Hanja are not analyzed as modern syllables. This is not a search engine or identity service.
Common questions
Are double initials such as ㄲ and ㄸ distinguished?
