Notice the space allocated to the text, this is what I mean. Somehow I doubt they can fit an entire word in one character (unless I am misunderstanding the concept japaneese only works by syllables instead of words?)

Somehow I doubt they can fit an entire word in one character (unless I am misunderstanding the concept japaneese only works by syllables instead of words?)Oh, no. By syllable, I mean sound. In Korean, a written character is a single syllable of a word - not a whole word. A word usually consists of multiple syllables.This is an example of a Korean word. The word is "hangul," which describes their writing system. The image outlines each letter that makes up the two syllables of the word. (han-gul)
I Actually found the whole article to be an interesting read. Thanks for the link! =)
Also do you know if the same Korean language is used between both North and South Korea?
Aaah ok, thanks for clarifying. And yeah I like how they can stack letters together. It can make text much smaller.
