Hal   

The Hal alphabet was invented by Kim Godgul as an alternative script for Korean. It is based on the Korean Hangul alphabet and there is a one-to-one match between the letters of Hal and Hangul. Unlike Hangul, Hal is written linearly rather than being grouped into syllables. The name Hal is a contraction of Hangul.
