As various styles of fonts were used, there were problems such as output errors due to uninstalled fonts and difficulty in font recognition. To solve these problems, research on font recognition and recommendation were actively conducted. However, Hangul font research remains at the basic level. Therefore, in order to automate the comparison on Hangul font similarity in the future, we analyze the influence of each stroke element property. First, we select seven representative properties based on Hangul stroke shape elements. Second, we design a calculation model to compare similarity between fonts. Third, we analyze the effect of each stroke element through the cosine similarity between the user's evaluation and the results of the model. As a result, there was no significant difference in the individual effect of each representative property. Also, the more accurate similarity comparison was possible when many representative properties were used.

The goal of this paper is to propose the Hangul Jamo to make a optimum transmission code of Hangul consonant and vowel(Jamo). The Hangul Jamo was analyzed by three kinds of Hangul Jamo. First one is the basic Hangul Jamo which is consisted by 24ea Jamo. Second one is a two combination keyboard which has 28ea Jamo. Third one is 54 Jamo set which is added the double Jamo to the second one. Use frequency of Hangul-Jamo is analyzed based on the Hangul in "Modern Korean Use Frequency Rate Survey Result" issued by The National Institute of the Korean Language". Total 58,437 Korean words are contained in the report and the words are composed with Hangul 1,540ea. The results of this study are as follows, In the Jamo are that in the first Jamo set case, the highest use frequency consonant is "ㅇ" and the lowest one is "ㅋ", and in the vowel case, the highest use frequency one is "ㅏ" and the lowest one is "ㅑ". In the second case, the highest use frequency consonant is same as first case and the highest vowel is "ㅏ" and the lowest one is "ㅒ". In the third case, the highest consonant is "ㅏ" and the lowest one is "ㅞ". the highest vowel is "ㄱ" and the lowest one is "ㄽ".

This research is for implementation of a software that can convert Hangul format file to $T_EX$ format file. Hangul is a word processor that has widely been used in Korea. It is known that Hangul is relatively easy of typing in equations and tables in preparing a paper draft. $T_EX$ has been developed as a computer programming language for preparing and publishing documents. Documents are first typed in with a plain text editor with $T_EX$ commands and then is compiled and linked. The software implemented in this research converts Hangul format files which are written under the specific format of a journal to $T_EX$ format file with the given style specific file. It converts special symbols, texts, tables, equations, and paragraph formats. We have used Hangul format of Journal of the Korean Data & Information Science Society (JKDISS) and the style file of $T_EX$ for the beta-test for the software.

In this study, there is main purpose to provide useful data in order to use the Hangul as a design factor. Also, there are two subordinate goals. First, to analyze standards as people estimate Hangul characters. Second, to understand people's preferences about Hangul characters and then, to catch formal features about that characters. In first result, It is known that people estimate Hangul characters based on four standards. They are neat, soft, cyber and plain standards. As second consequence, preferential Hangul characters have pretty, intimate, refined, soil, elaborate, forthright, tidy image. And they are square shape as a whole, less decorative, round edge style.

A Hangul input method consists of two core components: key layout for primitive units (Natja), and binding rules to form more complex, composite units from primitive ones. However, careless design and implementation of an input method may result in ambiguity and inability of contiguous typing, when it comes to handle composite Hangul units. This is due to the collective nature of Hangul, namely, existence of implicit boundaries between units and syllables. This issue gets more challenging for the context-dependent 2-beolsik method, mobile environment having significantly fewer keys, and yet addition of the support for Old Hangul. For the sake of the management of complexity, we devised a system in which the binding rule is divided into two layers rather than one. Based on this concept, we implemented a tool program that, given the primitive units and their binding rules, generates input details of every composite unit and detects any potential ambiguity and conflicts. We presented the actual analysis result for Samsung Cheonji-in and KT Naratgeul, two of the most popular mobile Hangul input methods used in Korea.

Virtual Hangul keyboards like Chun-Ji-In, Narat-Gul, and QWERTY are based on eyesight recognition, in which input letter positions are fixed in the smartphone environment. The input method of a fixed-position style is not very convenient for visually impaired individuals. In order to resolve the issue of inconvenience of the Hangul input system, we propose a new paradigm of the finger-touch based Hangul input system that does not need eyesight recognition of input buttons. For the convenience of learning the touch-motion based keyboard, finger touches are designed by considering the shape and frequencies of Hangul vowels and consonants together with the preference of fingers. The base position is decided by the first touch of the screen, and the finger-touch keyboard is used in the same way for all the other touch-style devices, regardless of the differences in size and operation system. In this input method, unique finger-touch motions are assigned for Hangul letters that significantly reduce the input errors.

This paper is studied the Korean language to optimize the Hangul character coding for information processing in information terminal device and transmission in network. The paper analyzed Hangul character in Korean language and use frequency of each character. The paper also compared the analysis result to Hangul characters which are coded in standard in Korean character and Unicode. This study referred "Modern Korean Use Frequency Rate Survey Result" issued by The National Institute of the Korean Language. There are total 58,437 Korean words in the report. As a result of this paper, the Korean word 58,437ea are consisted of Hangul character total 1,540ea. The highest use frequency character is "다" and its use frequency to total use frequency rate is 15%. The lowest use character is "휫"and its use frequency to total use frequency rate is 0.00003%. The number of analyzed Hangul character 1,540 is less 7.2 times and 1.5 times than Korean and Unicode standard respectively.

To achieve high compression ratio for Hangul texts, in this paper two text compression algorithms which use the structural feature of Hangul, the frequency of postpositional words, are proposed. The performances of these proposed algorithms are also compared with previous text compression algorithms. The proposed compression algorithms named HLZ77 and HLZW come out from the modification of previous algorithms LZ77 and :ZW, respectively. The major distinction of the proposed ones is that the proposed algorithms use the fixed dictionary of selected postpositional words that appear most frequently in Hangul texts. The performances of HLZ77 and HLZW also are compared with those of LZ77 and LZW, respectively, with respect to the compression ratio. According to the result of performance study, the proposed algorithms are better than the previous algorithms for descriptive Hangul text snce the structural feature of Hangul is helpful to achievement of high compression ratio.

For a quick and easy way of writing Hangul in hand-held devices, we analyzed the combination rules of Hangul alphabets that we constructed a small set of Hangul alphabets that combines a whole set of Hangul alphabets. Hangul consonants are generated from base set of consonants with function keys and vowels are constructed from eight base set of vowels by combination rules and stroke-adding rules. Especially, we adopted an easy error-correction method to resolve the inconvenience of using a delete key for vowel harmony errors. Futhermore, we diversified the input method of diphthongs for user-friendliness by minimizing the efforts of teaming vowel combination rules. We compared our method with previous methods of 'Chon-Ji-In' and 'Na-Rat-Keul' that the proposed method is better than the previous methods in input speed and error correction functionality.

Although several Hangul generation models using deep learning have been introduced, they require a lot of data, have a complex structure, requires considerable time and resources, and often fail in style conversion. This paper proposes a model CKFont using the components of the initial, middle, and final components of Hangul as a way to compensate for these problems. The CKFont model is an end-to-end Hangul generation model based on GAN, and it can generate all Hangul in various styles with 28 characters and components of first, middle, and final components of Hangul characters. By acquiring local style information from components, the information is more accurate than global information acquisition, and the result of style conversion improves as it can reduce information loss. This is a model that uses the minimum number of characters among known models, and it is an efficient model that reduces style conversion failures, has a concise structure, and saves time and resources. The concept using components can be used for various image transformations and compositing as well as transformations of other languages.
