 Many Korean words can also be written using Chinese characters, known as '''hanja''' in Korean. These are still occasionally seen in newspapers, formal documents and official signs, but are in general rarely used and have even been completely abolished in North Korea. While they remain official in South Korea, their use is largely restricted to the elderly, and many youths are unable to recognize anything more than their own names written in '''hanja'''. The few times when they still show up is in brackets next to the hangul to describe an unfamiliar term, to distinguish a term from another similar word or as a form of bold face when mentioning personal or place names. Hanja are also still used to mark Korean chess, or ''janggi'' pieces.
-It is worth noting that while Chinese characters are seldom written, many words themselves are Chinese words simply written as how they are pronounced -- not according to the Mandarin pronounciation, but according to the standardized Korean pronounciation of those same Chinese characters used in China. Like the position of Latin in English and French, Chinese words are often found in the more formal and less vernacular sciences, and even more so with 19th-century new Chinese words coined by the Japanese, and used in both Korea and China. Japanese, Vietnamese, and Chinese speakers may find some familiarity with some of these overlapping Chinese terms, although pronounciations are slightly different and Koreans only write out sounds and not the original Chinese characters. Although not nearly as much as Cantonese, Korean pronounciation of Chinese words retain more medieval Chinese pronounciations of the Tang dynasty some 1300 years ago, than the Manchurian-influenced modern Mandarin.
