How it works
This Korean font generator swaps your letters for Hangul letters that look like them, ㅌ for E. The result is not Korean: a Korean reader sees unrelated letters. Some apps strip or block these characters, and screen readers may read them badly.

Half the alphabet fits
Single letters swaps the 13 capitals that have a Hangul lookalike and leaves the other 13 plain, so HELLO changes all five letters and WORD only one. With syllable blocks also joins pairs such as LI, CH and OH into one square each. Small letters take the capital's swap.
Shapes, never sounds
Every swap was picked for its shape. ㅜ is the vowel u and stands for T; ㄴ is the consonant nieun and stands for L. Wikipedia records that Korean arranges its letters in syllable blocks of a consonant, a vowel and an optional final consonant, which a row of single letters never forms.
- ㅣ is the one swap whose name matches: Unicode calls it Hangul letter i, and it stands for I.
- A pair joins only when both letters share a case: LI and li make 니, and Li stays two letters.
- Hangul letters are drawn wide, so a swapped line takes more room and wraps sooner.
Questions and answers
Is this real Korean?
No. The characters are real Hangul and the words are not. A Korean reader sees vowels and consonants in an order that spells nothing, and each syllable block reads as its own sound: 니 is ni, not LI.
Is a Korean font generator a font?
No. Nothing here changes a typeface. The E you copy is U+314C Hangul letter thieuth, one of 31 characters on this page, and it is the same character wherever you paste it.
Why do some letters stay plain?
13 capitals have no honest Hangul lookalike: B, D, G, J, N, P, Q, R, S, V, W, X and Y. They stay as typed. The round letter ieung is left out too, because Unicode lists it as a double of the Latin o.
How do I write my name in real Korean?
Not with this page. A name in Korean is spelled by its sounds, in syllable blocks, which takes someone who knows the language. This page matches shapes only, so the result cannot be read aloud as your name.
