[KS] Getting Hanja in Mac IME

[matty wegehaupt]

No worries - this problem is also easily solvable.

1. Make sure that in your System Preferences - Language and Text - Input Sources - that "show input menu" box is checked
2. When you have the Korean input chosen, go to the input source icon in the top menu bar, click and find "Hangul Input Method Preferences"
3. A Preferences box will open - choose "Hanja Input" 
4. For "input format" you can choose: Hanja, Hanja (Hangul), and Hangul (Hanja). You'll want "Hanja" in this case.

Good luck,
Matty



> Thanks. This works. The only thing is, the hanja follows the hangul in parentheses. While I suppose that's how Korean is written these days, I'm an old codger who sometimes just wants the hanja in there by themselves.
