Computers represent the Korean language in a variety of ways.

In Request for Comment 1577 (RFC1577), a method known as ISO-2022-KR for encoding Korean characters in emails was described.

The international Unicode standard contains special characters for representing the Korean language in the native Hangul phonetic system. It also has attempted, with some controversy, to create a unified CJK character set that can represent Chinese (Hanzi) as well as the Japanese (Kanji) and Korean (Hanja) derivatives of this script through the Han unification process.
