Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com FM 34-54 alphabetic symbols are read vertically—from the top to the bottom of each group—with the left preceding the right when the symbols are side-by-side. Figure G-18 illustrates the symbols of the Korean alphabet. Pay close attention to the second symbol from the left in the third row, the one that looks like a circle with a stem at the 12 o'clock position. It is a very frequent symbol and does not look like anything that occurs in Chinese or Japanese. G-25
