Hangul stroke order — all 24 basic letters with numbered diagrams A1
Numbered stroke-order diagrams for the 14 consonants and 10 vowels of Hangul, the three rules that cover every letter, and how blocks are written by hand. Tap any letter to hear it.
Three rules cover everything
- Top to bottom — the upper stroke goes first (ㅊ: dot, bar, then the legs).
- Left to right — horizontal bars run left→right; the left element of a block is written before the right one.
- Outside before inside for the box shapes: ㅁ is left side, then top-and-right in one stroke, then the bottom.
Hangul was designed for a brush, so most strokes are one continuous motion — ㄱ is a single stroke that turns a corner, not two lines.
Consonants (자음)
Vowels (모음)
Inside a block
Write the initial consonant, then the vowel, then the batchim — the same order you type. For 한: ㅎ (3 strokes) → ㅏ (2) → ㄴ (1). Keep the block roughly square; a vowel like ㅏ sits to the right at the same height as the consonant, while ㅗ/ㅜ sit under it. ㅇ starts at about 10 o’clock and goes counter-clockwise — the only circular stroke in the alphabet.

FAQ
Does stroke order matter in Korean?
Less than in Chinese, but it keeps handwriting legible and fast, and Korean teachers do correct it. The rules are simple: top→bottom, left→right, outside→inside.
How many strokes is ㄱ?
One. It is a single stroke that turns the corner, like most Hangul letters.
How do you write ㅇ?
Start near 10 o’clock and draw one counter-clockwise circle.
