ISO/TR 11941:1996 (Information and documentation — Transliteration of Korean script into Latin characters) is aKoreanromanization system used inInternational Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is mainly used in character names inUnicode andISO/IEC 10646.

The technical report was withdrawn in December 2013.

The apostrophe (') is used for resolving ambiguity. It is used in the following cases.

• Both Method I and Method II:
  • Whenㅇ appears at the initial position of a non-initial syllable of a polysyllabic word (e.g.앉아라anc'ara/anj'ara)
  • Whenㄲ,ㄸ,ㅃ,ㅉ, orㅆ appears at the initial position of a non-initial syllable of a polysyllabic word (e.g.아까a'kka/a'gga)
• Method I only:
  • Whenㅋ,ㅌ,ㅍ, orㅊ appears at the initial position of a non-initial syllable of a polysyllabic word (e.g.애타다ae'thata)

In fact, the above rules arealways applied; they are applied even when there is no ambiguity (e.g.아이a'i,흰떡hyin'tteok/hyin'ddeog).

In Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646, both Method I and Method II are used for character names.

• Method I: characters in theHangul Jamo andHangul Compatibility Jamo blocks (e.g. U+1103ᄃHANGUL CHOSEONGTIKEUT (디귿), U+3148ㅈHANGUL LETTERCIEUC (지읒))
• Method II: characters in theHangul Syllables block (e.g. U+AF43꽃HANGUL SYLLABLEGGOC)

As the apostrophe is not allowed in character names, it is always omitted. For example,옛이응 isyes'i'eung in ISO/TR 11941, butYESIEUNG in Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646 (e.g. U+114CᅌHANGUL CHOSEONG YESIEUNG).
