Examples
-
Hangul was intentionally invented (commissioned by a 15th century king) to promote literacy and be a "native" writing system to supplant the morphographic writing system based on Chinese characters (Hanja).
-
In Hangul, phonetic letters are stacked into syllables so that each syllable occupies the same space as a Chinese character, making mixed morphographic and phonetic typography easy.
