Strange Special Characters When Typing Korean in Chrome on Mac

Contents

As shown in the screenshot below, there's a problem on macOS where strange special characters (a kite? a box? a hanafuda card?) appear when typing Korean in Chromium-based browsers. They're invisible while you're writing in Chrome, but they show up in Safari or on Windows. This becomes an awkward situation when you're writing a document meant for public consumption.

What on earth is this weird box...
What on earth is this weird box...

Here's how to fix it.

  1. In Safari, the special characters are visible as-is. So do one more review pass in Safari and delete them.
  2. Use Gureum input method.
