      Warning

    Please note that for Korean input, you may need to click on Preferences to activate 'Start in Hangul mode.' This setting will prompt you to use Korean words when switching to Korean input. If this option is not enabled, you will need to press the Hangul toggle key to switch from the Latin alphabet to Korean characters.
