    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to write Taekwondo in korean the properly? I want to animate the writings as they are being written, but i don't know the sequence which it should be written (in chinese this is very important!)

    Thank you

    Well the characters are shown correctly by Thomas..... they can either be written horizontally or vertically. Now I think you want to know HOW the characters are written.. by that you mean if you were just to take one character for example the character for "Tae" and wanted to know the correct procedure to write the character... thats simple enough :)

    Start from left to right and then down... start by drawing the - then underneath it goes the [ and then next to it would go the H so then you would get the complete character 태.

    Hope this helped a bit .... now shown larger to enhance detail :)

    So I get to peek in after over a year off, and I see Thomas is still helping out everyone. Spot on, mate. Good on ya.'


    BTW everyone, Korean (the alphabet....not characters, sorry guys) is the only scientifically created language (save a cheeky attempt at Esperanto) in the world...or so my research has shown me...

    Cheers,

    It's certainly v logical in contrast to Chinese and especially Japanese - for a start it has a finite number of "letters"!! :p
