About this document
Understanding Hanja in Korean Language by Ravenight is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document provides an overview of Hanja, the traditional Korean writing system comprising Chinese characters. It discusses that Hanja is what Koreans call Chinese characters, which they began using in 400 BCE. While Hanja characters are identical to traditional Chinese characters, they have different pronunciations in Korean. Korea no longer uses Hanja as widely as in the past but it is still taught in high schools. Basic commonly used Hanja characters are also presented.
