🌍 WIHP

Standard mode applies the Loanword Orthography of the National Institute of Korean Language: the general principles (only seven final consonants, no long-vowel marks, no tensed stops except where a table uses them), IPA table 1 with the English, German and French sections, and the spelling-based tables 2–19 with their sections for Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Polish, Czech, Serbo-Croatian, Romanian, Hungarian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Malay and Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Dutch and Russian. Other languages get table 1 and the general principles only. Customary spellings of well-known names are not applied, so an established spelling can differ.

In easy-reading mode the Hangul hint follows WIHP app rules v1. In both modes it approximates the sound and does not replace the original. Finding a word in a dictionary does not guarantee how a particular person says their own name.

Pronunciation-based braille proposed by WIA. It is not an official national braille code; have a qualified transcriber review it before real use.
