🖐️ I Have a Question 🖐️

“How do I type double consonants (ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ)?”​

First, remember the principle from the creation of Hangeul:

"the remaining letters were derived from the basic letters to enhance organization.”​

📌 For ㄲ: The basic letter is ㄱ, so you simply tap the ㄱ three times

📌 For ㄸ: The basic letter is ㄷ, so you tap the ㄷ three times

📌 For ㅃ: The basic letter is ㅂ, so you tap the ㅂ three times

📌 For ㅆ: The basic letter is ㅅ, so you tap the ㅅ three times

📌 For ㅉ: The basic letter is ㅈ, so you tap the ㅈ three times
