This paper describes how to recognize hand written Hangeul character using the stroke order of the elementary segment. The recognition system is constructed of 4 parts : character input part, segment disassembling part, character element extraction part and character recognition part. The character input part reads the character and performs thinning algorithm. In the segment disassembling part, the input character is disassembled into elementary segments using the direction codes and the feature parameters. In the character element extraction part, we extract the character element using the stroke order and the Knowledge rule. Finally, we are able to recognize the hand written Hangeul characters by assembling the character elements, in the character recognition part.
