Common Korean keyboard problems

Letters stay separate instead of forming blocks

Confirm that 2-Set Korean is selected, then type an initial consonant followed by a vowel. For example, ㅎ + ㅏ + ㄴ composes 한.

The wrong characters appear on this page

Switch your computer input source back to English or another Latin layout before using the physical QWERTY map above. This page performs the Hangul conversion itself.

You cannot find ㅃ, ㄲ, ㅆ, ㅒ, or ㅖ

Hold Shift with Q, R, T, O, or P. Shift also produces ㅉ with W and ㄸ with E.

The timed typing test feels different

The online composer is designed for quick text entry. For an accurate speed result, enable your operating system’s Korean input source and use that during the timed test.

Turn the layout into muscle memory

Once the key positions make sense, measure your CPM, WPM, and accuracy with real Hangul prompts. Use your device’s Korean input source for the fairest timed result.

How to type Korean without installing a keyboard

South Korea’s standard PC layout is 2-set Hangul (Dubeolsik): consonants and vowels sit on a QWERTY map. Learners who do not have a Korean IME enabled can still practice jamo placement and syllable building with an on-screen keyboard that composes Hangul in the browser.

Use this free Korean keyboard to draft messages, look up conjugations, or warm up before a Hangul typing speed test. Shift produces double consonants (ㅃ ㅉ ㄸ ㄲ ㅆ) and the vowels ㅒ ㅖ. When you are ready to measure speed, open the Hangul typing test with your OS Korean input method.

  • 2-set (Dubeolsik) layout matching standard Korean PCs
  • Click keys or type Latin keys to insert Hangul jamo
  • Automatic syllable composition (e.g. ㅎ+ㅏ+ㄴ → 한)
  • Copy and clear controls. Free, no account

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Korean keyboard installed?

No. This virtual 2-set keyboard composes Hangul in the browser. Click on-screen keys or press the matching Latin keys on a physical QWERTY keyboard.

What is 2-set (Dubeolsik)?

Dubeolsik is the standard Korean keyboard layout: consonants on the left side of QWERTY and vowels on the right. It is what most Korean Windows and macOS users enable as “2-Set Korean.”

How do I type double consonants like ㅃ?

Hold Shift (or tap the on-screen Shift key) then press the matching key: Q→ㅃ, W→ㅉ, E→ㄸ, R→ㄲ, T→ㅆ. Shift+O and Shift+P give ㅒ and ㅖ.

Is this the same as the Hangul typing speed test?

No. This page is a free online keyboard for composing text. The Hangul typing test measures CPM/WPM against timed prompts and expects a real OS Korean IME for fairest results.

Can I use this keyboard with the verb conjugator?

Yes. Open the Korean verb conjugator and use the keyboard button next to the search field to type dictionary forms like 하다 or 가다 without an OS IME.
