ocsfollowme Posted August 6, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 6, 2014 This was written in blue ink on the corner of a 2x3' South Korean Flag. Can anyone read it? Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmerc20 Posted August 6, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 6, 2014 Thats not Hangul. Unless it is so poorly written I can't figure it out. I can read fluent Korean but I can't even make sense of it. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted August 6, 2014 Yes, I just had a friend try to translate it and he said that he couldnt. Too poor of a cursive. So text lost to history. Lesson to us all...write legibly so that people 60 years can make out what you said...so they can sell our things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ Abn Posted August 7, 2014 Share #9 Posted August 7, 2014 My Korean translator tells me the characters are Chinese and it appears to be someone's name. The use of Chinese characters in Korea was and is very common. Family registers of Korean peoples names and relatives are done in Chinese characters and Koreans needed to know how to write their names in Chinese characters. Plus on the exterior walls by the doors prior to entering into Korea home courtyards is normally a plaque with the family name written in Chinese characters. If this is a Korean flag it is most likely the name of a Korean person who owned it written in Chinese characters. It is very common for Koreans to own flags and they are posted on homes during certain national holidays. ATW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
