This study is to analyze literacy textbooks for adult learners developed by adult literacy education institutes. In the study, six different kinds of literacy textbooks are collected and analyzed on the basis of five evaluation criteria.: unit organization, presentation way of Hangeul, type of content, level of content, and degree of subject integration. The results of literacy textbook analysis are as follows. First, literacy textbooks carry different forms of unit organization in different textbooks. Most textbooks are composed of lessons, without a hierarchical organization of lessons, whereas some textbooks carry a hierarchical structure of 'unit + lessons'. Second, Hangeul is mostly presented in the form of reading and writing and literacy textbooks tend to present Hangeul as constructing letter through combining vowels and consonants rather than as whole language. Third, literacy textbooks contain life-adjustment situations which would help adult learners to lead everyday lives more efficiently. Fourth, literacy textbooks carry different levels of educational content, ranging from 'basic Hangeul' through 'expanded content' to high level of Hangeul writing. Fifth, literacy textbooks appear to integrate educational content from different subjects in order to provide more relevant content for adult learners.

The use of 'Idumunja' for programs is inevitable before Unicode came out. However, even now that Unicode has been established as an international standard in both name and reality, there has been an insistence that the use of Hangeul identifiers should be avoided. This study surveyed the students for the reasons why they prefer to use English identifiers and for the notations that can substitute the function of English capital letters in using Hangeul identifiers. Then, we discussed the vanity of argument that the use of English identifiers is a global trend, and proposed two notations for the use of Korean identifiers. In order to improve the productivity of software, programmer's job satisfaction, and the ease of maintenance, the use of Hangeul identifiers should become rapidly common.

The author studied the process of unifying Hanja variant groups of Korea and China for LGR (Label Generation Rule) of Internet Top-Level Hangeul Hanja Domain and possible confusion between Hangeul syllable and Hanja character. Among 3518 Chinese variant groups, Korea and China need not review variant groups which include no or just one Korean Hanja character. Korea and China reviewed 304 Chinese variant groups (9% of the 3518 Chinese variant groups) which include two or more Korean Hanja characters. By doing so, Korea and China succeeded in efficiently unifying variant groups. Unification process of variant groups which is the main core of Korea-China coordination and almost final unification result is summarized in this paper. In addition, the author analyzed systematically whether some Hanja character could be confused with a Hangeul syllable and obtained a good result which was not expected at the beginning. Probably this kind of systematic analysis has not been performed in the past and seems the first attempt, which is one of the contributions of this paper. The author also reviewed how to express K-LGR in XML for submission to ICANN.

This study aims to suggest basic materials to develop an emotional font for future Hangeul font development plan by investigating emotional reaction displayed through the subjects and by quantifying its contribution of the stimulation elements causing such reaction. For this, a survey of 150 university students who are currently enrolled in the College of Design was conducted in order to analyze correlation between 30 emotional words extracted from the Hangeul font and the selected 36 sample fonts. The combined data was described with the two dimensional dispersion using the quantification theory type III. The analysis found out that the Hangeul font forms the x-axis showing "soft(dynamic).hard(static)" and the y-axis showing "modern(light).classic(heavy)”. Specifically, there exist emotional groups such as "archaic","masculine","feminine","negative", and "modern static"on each axis. In addition, to extract the casual relationship between the value of emotional reaction and its stimulation elements quantitatively, the author indicated the emotional words of each axis and the total value of equivalent five emotional word groups as the standard variance and the constituent of Hangeul font as the independent variable, and then the quantification theory type I was used to analyze the physical elements of the Hangeul font. As a result, "the centerline of gravity(base line)" and "thickness variance of a stroke" on the two axes, and "the centerline of gravity(base line)" and "decoration" among the five groups were identified as the most influential elements that affect the emotional reaction of the subjects.

In accordance with development of smart phone, the importance of keypad was increasing, because the smart phone provides a variety of feature like word processor, chatting program, messenger and etc. In this paper, we propose the new Hangeul keypad for smart phones using gestures. And, also we do experiment for performance evaluation of the proposed keypad in this paper. The experiment shows that the proposed keypad is more efficient than other keypads.

This paper examines transcription of sounds from a phonological perspective. It has found that most of transcriptions have been done on a segmental basis alone, without consideration of the whole phonological systems and levels, and without a full understanding of the nature of the linguistic and phonetic alphabets. In a word, sound transcriptions have not been done on the basis of the phonology of the language and the alphabet. This study shows a phonological model for transcribing foreign and native sounds, suggesting ways of improving some of the current transcription systems such as the Hangeul transcription of loan words and the romanization of Hangeul, as well as the phonetic transcription of English and other foreign languages.

This paper points out that the current Hengeul Morse Code is not reasonable in view of information theory. Based on the statistics on Hangeul investigated in 1973, this paper proposes a Hangeul Morse Code with care to handling two compound characters as source symbols and considers its effect on transmission speed. Thus the transmission speed of revised Hangeul Morse Coda is improved about 21% with compare to that of current one.

In this paper, we developed a Web App that operates in a mobile device. Also, we designed and developed an electronic dictionary of English words and sentences are expressed by English pronunciation with hangeul. The database using English words, Hangeul code with pictures, vocabulary definitions, speech sound files, and many sentences are created in this system. We developed the English learning system using HTML5 and m-Bizmaker software tools.

This paper presents the algorithm of an on-line cursive Hangeul recognition by means of the DP matching with structural information. In the proposed method, the penalty represents the similarity between input character and reference character. The penalty is dynamically computed with types of strokes, directions of strokes, and the length rations of fragment during the process that searchs for an optimal path using 3$\times$3 matrix. As the result, this method can be exactly matched for even greatly deformed characters. The computer simulation shows that the proposed algorithm can be utilized in recognizing cursive Hangeul as well as correct Hangeul.

In this paper, we proposed an economical coding method to be applied for Hangeul character, the Korean letter, by utilizing three state transition graph. With this method, only about 3.5 biys are required in expressing a Hangeul character, which is more than 1 bit shorter than conventional codes so far introduced in order to realze extensive code compression. Hence this method will improve the rapidity and exanctitude and economy in processing Hangeul letter.
