	Hanja - Galbijim
		Hanja is the name for Chinese characters used in the Korean language.
		Korean used to be written entirely in hanja until the invention of hangeul by King Sejong and his scribes, and even then hanja was mainly used until the end of World War II.
		Those who know hanja are capable of finding the hanja written in a hangeul script, though the process can be time-consuming especially given the fact that most software in Korea does not recognize hanja compound words and thus the user is often forced to pick characters one at a time.

		Hanja (Han-geul: 한자; Hanja: 漢字; literal meaning: "Han character(s)"), or Hanmun (한문; 漢文), sometimes translated as Sino-Korean characters, are what Chinese characters (Hanzi) are called in Korean, but specifically, they refer to those that the Korean language borrowed and incorporated into their own language, changing their pronunciation.
		Thus, Hanja are often used to clarify meaning, either on their own without the equivalent Hangeul spelling, or in parentheses after the Hangeul spelling as a kind of gloss.
		Hanja are often used in newspaper headlines instead of Hangeul to eliminate the ambiguity typical of newspaperese in any language.

	[KS] The Other Finishing Touch on HanJa-and relation to scientific language: Part I
		And insofar as HanJa part comprise less than 1% of the total score of Korean college entrance exam, it is no wonder that they put in just that much effort, less than 1%.
		Though we have all the professors, and the author of this article, trumpeting the value of HanJa, the student must look at his watch and the pay-off from the expensive education he is investing in.
		Now depending on the distribution of the words, and assuming that they comprise of two-syllable HanJa compounds in the main, in the optimistic case he is faced with simply memorizing the 1000 words or learning 500 chinese characters which make up all the words in the 1000 words of interest.

	[KS] The finishing touch on early hanja education [English Translation]
		Whether it be because those claims of usefulness of learning hanja, in respect of international matters, have proven unsatisfactory, for which claims one can find only weak theoretical arguments and little real evidence, their proponents have recently begun to assert increasingly the usefulness of hanja education in respect of national matters.
		If the students who studied han.ja had higher IQ scores or greater capacity for abstract thought or had better classroom performance in chinese literature classes in middle or senior school levels, then such would be evidence of effectiveness of hanja education at the elementary school level.
		Were the hanja students prove themselves comparatively not much better in IQ, abstract thinking, or in middle school chinese literature classes, then such would be evidence rather of harmful effect of early hanja education.

		Controversy is even raging on PC communication networks such as Hitel and Chollian, with those in the 10 to 20 year old age group, the Hangul generation, overwhelmingly opposing the idea, saying that the co-use of Hanja comes from cultural toadyism which considers Chinese characters as superior to Hangul.
		The MGAHA however, expressed reluctance at the proposal with an official saying Wednesday that the sudden change to documentation with Hanja should be seriously examined considering Hangul has been used exclusively in official government documents for almost 30 years.
		He said that the ministry is not considering the revision of related regulations even though it is needed for using Hanja and added that the matter of co-use should be decided by collecting opinions from relative ministries, academies and public, not by MCT's rough and ready method.

	Bryce Carpenter on Korean "alphabets"
		Hangul is the modern Korean alphabet and Hanja refers to the body of Chinese characters that have been incorporated into Korean (in Japanese they are called Kanji, note the similarity).
		My knowledge of Hanja is next to nothing, but one example of this principle that springs to mind is the word 'east.' It would of course be easier to illustrate the concept with a chalkboard rather than with a keyboard.
		Recognizing the limits of Hangul as well as the advantages of retaining some Hanja, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea directed Yonsei University in Seoul (the Oxford of Korea) to compile a list of 1,800 essential Hanja which were to be taught in all middle schools and high schools.
