Reverted 1 edit by [[Special:Contributions/AbyxDev|AbyxDev]] ([[User talk:AbyxDev|talk]]): Doesnt match source; look at source. the source is the official south korean orthography website. i copied and pasted the characters they used exactly as is.
/* South Korean punctuation */ replace [[Guillemet|≪ ≫]] with [[Title mark|《》]]
/* Vowel letters */ clarify
/* top */ this should reduce the clunk
This wording has been bugging me for a while; this is clearer but clunky. Please fix if you can think of better. The issue is that this sentence shouldn't imply that vowels are being combined with consonants to form new letters; it's consonants + consonants and vowels + vowels
