Hangul (한글), the writing system used in Korean, is included in Unicode 1100~11FF as Hangul Jamo. It is the only writing system used by a major language that was created specifically for that language (unlike the writing system used in English, for example, which comes from Latin alphabet, which was in turn adapted from other writing systems). It was created by King Sejong
and scholars in the Hall of Worthies between AD 1443~1526.
