I thought it was pictographic at first, but hadn’t really looked at or thought about it a lot until a visit to Seoul. It’s really compact and efficient. At one point in my life, I could read it. No idea what it said, but I could sound out the words.

What got me curious was the HUGE 삼성 on the building across the street from my hotel room. Lol.
