I have never had to send a Korean text message before but I do now...

Problem is, the keypad doesn't have all the letters...

Does anyone know how I input letters that are not shown?

TIA.

There are two systems.

One has all the vowels laid out on separate buttons. Straightforward enough.

The other has you form the vowels with . | and --

So to make �� you would press ��|.

�� is ��.|

�� is ��|.|

�� is ��.--|.

and �� is ��.||

Wow... thanks a lot!!! It's less complicated than I thought but bloody complicated anyway!

The phone has the second system, btw.

You have to "compose" a lot of characters.
��*=��, ��**=��, ��#=��, etc..

Uh, hmm.. I've never seen that system. I could just make �� by pressing �� twice.

Interesting. I use an LG Cyon phone. Just pulled out my old Cyon and
it's the same. More than two systems? I've never seen one with dipthongs.

My old Samsung worked the same way as Hater described - I think the Motorola I had here was the same.

yeah the samsung one is easier to use but even the LG one isn't bad after a while. also to make �� into �� for example you need to press another key, i think the * key if i remember rightly.. just have a mess around with it and you'll soon get the idea.

Yes, I think the * is equivalent to the 2nd function on a calculator. Took me fookin ages to work it out.
