@jcankoreanantipolo: Hangeul's original name๐ The Korean alphabet Hangeul was initially created and named ๐๐๐ป๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ท๐ฒ๐ผ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐๐บ by King Sejong the Great of the Joseon Dynasty. Hunminjeongeum literally means in Korean "๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ." Sejong designed this scientifically efficient script to allow mass literacy in his kingdom regardless of social status. โ๏ธ The national holiday Hangeul Day on Oct. 9 marks this legacy stemming from the progressive-thinking and socially conscious king. #hangeul #hunminjeongeum #koreanlanguage #KingSejong #hangeulday
