When I first came to Korea in 1965, Chinese characters, called "hanja" in Korean, could be seen everywhere — road signs, names on buildings, advertisements and even in newspapers. However, hanja has all but vanished. Newspapers no longer have headlines in Chinese characters, we see very few on signs around town — maybe at a Chinese restaurant? And in the field of education, the list of 900 characters mandatory for middle school students to learn and 1800 for high school students hasn’t been seen
