Described are methods and apparatuses for selecting Hangul components to form Korean characters on a screen located on electronic devices. All Hangul components are divided into three groups; namely, an initial consonant group, a medial vowel group, and a final consonant group. Any Hangul components can be found in these three groups. These three group Hangul components are alternatively displayed on a component display region (1006) located on the screen. At the beginning of inputting a Korean character, the first display region displays the initial consonant group in the component display region (1006). To form a Korean character, a user selects an initial consonant from the initial consonant group. Upon the selection of the initial consonant, the component display region (1006) displays the medial vowel group. The user then selects a medial vowel from the medial vowel group. Upon the selection of the medial vowel, the component display region (1006) displays the final consonant group. If necessary, the user selects a final consonant. The selected Hangul components are displayed in a character display region (1004) located on the screen to form a Korean character.
