I realize that there are many posts and threads and guides ALL OVER THE INTERNET about how to install and use IMEs or keyboards on any PC or MAC using any type of OS. I understand that but that isn't my problem. I want to know which key represents which character when using the Windows 8 Korean IME. I am fluent in Korean reading and writing but my keyboard is a standard QWERTY which doesn't tell me what comes out when I type in Korean. I've looked up various IME guides and they have images showing which key gives which character, but for some reason, the guides don't match what my own keyboard does.

For instance, the guide tells me that by pressing "A" I will get the "" but when I press "A" I get "". I'm really frustrated with this because I need to type in Korean but I can't possibly just keep using trial and error to memorise the keyboard because it takes too long. Is there a way to display a virtual keyboard or maybe a proper image showing me which key does what?? Please help.

In start search for Keyboard and open On-Screen Keyboard and then switch to Korean and try type something, the on screen Keyboard will show location of Korean Alphabet in your keyboard.

Hi,

In addition to Cyber_Defend_Team mentioned, we can refer to the following link.
Add a keyboard layout:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/change-keyboard-layout.

I suggest you change system locale to Korean(Korea).
Open Control Panel>>Clock,Language,and Region>>Language>>Change date,time,or number formats>>Administrative

Regards,

• Press the Windows key + W
• Type "services," and press Enter
• Scroll down to "Touch screen keyboard and handwriting panel"
• You can either right click and "Start" or you can double-click and change it from "Automatic" startup to "Manual."
