Korean Paper
Korean paper or ''hanji'' () refers to traditional handmade paper from Korea. ''Hanji'' is made from the inner bark of the paper mulberry (''Broussonetia papyrifera''; ), a tree native to Korea that grows well on its rocky mountainsides. Another crucial material used in its creation is the mucilage that oozes from the roots of '' Hibiscus manihot''. This substance helps suspend the individual fibers in water. Traditional ''hanji'' is made in laminated sheets using the ''we bal'' method (a sheet formation technique), which allows for multi-directional grain. The process of creating ''hanji'' also employs ''dochim'', a method of pounding finished sheets to compact fibers and lessen ink bleed.

Hokkien, a variety of Chinese that forms part of the Southern Min family and is spoken in Southeastern China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, does not have a unitary standardized writing system, in comparison with the well-developed written forms of Written Cantonese, Cantonese and Written vernacular Chinese, Standard Chinese (Mandarin).
