Please also consult CJKV fonts: How to choose between them.

Please see below for archaic Hangul syllables.

Windows and macOS

Windows fonts, as long as they are TrueType fonts (.ttf) or TrueType Collections (.ttc), or CFF-flavoured OpenType fonts (.otf), can also be used on macOS.

Archaic Hangul syllables

The OS-supplied fonts mentioned above, Batang and AppleMyungjo, are not capable of displaying all Hangul syllables that were ever used, especially so-called ‘archaic’ ones. In case these archaic Hangul syllables need to be rendered, a fallback font must be used. According to information found on the Google Noto website, the Noto CJK fonts support “over 1.5 million archaic Hangul syllables and 11,172 modern syllables as well as all CJK ideographs in KS X 1001 and KS X 1002.”
