The following tables of [[consonants]] and [[vowels]] (''jamo'') of the [[Korean alphabet]] (''[[Hangul]]'') display (in blue) the basic forms in the first row and their derivatives in the following row(s). They are divided into initials (leading consonants), vowels (middle), and finals tables (trailing consonants).

With 19 possible initial consonants, 21 possible medial (one- or two-letter) vowels, and 28 possible final consonants (of which one corresponds to the case of no final consonant), there are a total of {{math|1=19 × 21 × 28 = 11,172}} ''theoretically'' possible "Korean syllable letters" ({{Korean|hangul=글자|rr=geulja|lit=letter}}),<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.korean.go.kr/nkview/news/12/128.htm |script-title=ko:한글 자모의 배열 순서 |trans-title=The order of Korean alphabet |last=Lee |first=Sung-jae |work=[[National Institute of Korean Language]] |access-date=3 June 2025 |language=ko}}</ref> which are contiguously encoded in the 11,172 Unicode code points from U+AC00 (Decimal: {{Base|44,032|10}}) through U+D7A3 (Decimal: {{Base|55,203|10}}= 44,032 + 11,171) within the [[Hangul Syllables]] Unicode block. However, the majority of these theoretically possible syllables do not correspond to syllables found in actual Korean words or proper names.
