Basic Hanja for educational use

Basic Hanja for educational use (Korean: 한문 교육용 기초 한자, romanized: hanmun gyoyukyong gicho Hanja) are a subset of Hanja defined in 1972 by a South Korean standard for educational use. 900 characters are expected to be learnt by middle school students and a further 900 at high school.[1]

List of characters

• Each hanja is sorted by the alphabetical order of the Sino-Korean reading.
• The "Grades" column indicates whether the character is taught in Middle School (grades 7–9) or High School (grades 10–12).
• For brevity, only one English translation is given per hanja.
• The "Readings" column shows the Native Korean reading of the character first, followed by the Sino-Korean reading. Underneath the hangul forms are the Latin renditions according to the Revised Romanization, followed by a jamo-by-jamo transliteration without special provisions made for more accurate representation of phonology, but rather of spelling.
• This list is currently incomplete.
