The family name written first.
Also known as: Korean name order
The Korean convention writing a personal name family name first, and the notational devices used to disambiguate it in Latin script.
Places the family name before the given name.
Contexts: Language and transcription
Is disambiguated in international use by capitalising the family name or by a comma, because Korean given names are usually two syllables and surnames one, so a reader who does not know the rule has a fifty-fifty chance and the writing supplies no other clue.
Contexts: Language and transcription
A single square syllable block followed without a space by two more, or in Latin script a run of capitals or a comma stroke marking where the family name ends.
