HANGUL, The Cosmic Philosophy

    Hangul is the universe. The universe is Hangul.
    King Sejong created Hunminjeongeum based on the cosmic
    principles of Hasattang 하사땅 (Samjae, Samtaegeuk, or The
    Three Principle of Hanul, Saram, and Ttang meaning
    Heaven, Human, and Earth) or Hattangsa 하땅사. Hangul
    symbolizes the universe through the combination of Wonsene
    원세네 (Won, Semo, and Nemo meaning The Circle-
    Triangle-Square trinity: ㅇㅅㅁ) representing Hasattang and
    the geometric elements of ㆍ ㅡ ㅇ (dot, line, and circle).
    The logic of the universe is singular, and sound flows
    according to the principles of nature. The universe is
    Hasattang, humanity is Hasattang, and sound is also
    Hasattang.
    Both Hangul consonants and vowels were created under the
    same principles. This is why the shapes of consonants
    resemble vocal organs or the process of pronunciation.
    Hunminjeongeum is a secret code revealing the cosmic
    philosophy, deeper and more fundamental than commonly
    known, embodying the principles of the universe and the
    laws of nature. Moreover, it was designed for anyone to
    understand and awaken to its truth.
