How to Use the Korean Chosung Extractor
Paste a list of Korean names, contacts, or product names, and this tool pulls out the initial consonant (chosung: γ±, γ΄, γ·...) of every Hangul syllable. Type a chosung query and only the lines whose chosung contains that pattern are kept, making it easy to search a name list the way Korean chosung-search features do. All 19 initial consonants, including doubled ones like γ², γΈ, γ , γ , and γ , are recognized precisely, and any non-Hangul characters (letters, numbers, spaces) are left untouched.
Useful for
- Building a chosung search index for a contact list
- Preprocessing data for a chosung autocomplete feature
- Filtering similar Korean names or product names by initial consonant
- Generating a chosung column for spreadsheet sorting
