It's just the surname + first name. The first name can be of any length, but it's usually just 2 letters, but sometimes it's 1 letter, and again sometimes even longer.
You don't need to know characters because you already know the characters say Lim Yo Hwan.
Why would you search Korean websites for Chinese characters?

On a similar note, I was wondering why one korean character ( ) seems to be translated into two different pronunciations ("Bak" and "Park"), according to the names that I have written on my KPGA Rankings chart (which I got from mensrea's old OGN news posts). Is this because the true pronunciation is somewhere between "Bak" and "Park"?
E.g.
[Oops]Reach -- Bak Jung-seok --
SoNiC)BlacK -- Park Shin-young -- ڽſ
(or maybe this is just an error in my chart...)
Most texts will tell you Reach's (and Black's) Korean surname should be spelled in English "Park." But anyone with any knowledge of Korean knows that's NOT the way it's really pronounced. The Korean surname "" should, in fact, be pronounced "Bak," because = b. "Bak" sounds closer to the original than Park, so I go with that.
The confusion stems from the romanization techniques used by early linguists when transliterating Korean into English. However, all sorts of nonsense has been perpetrated against the Korean language in the name of out-dated notions of phoenetic orthodoxy. What must be understood before anything else is that language and grammar (including the rules pertaining to transliteration) are always in flux and is subject to revision and change.
Thus, for example, virtually all world maps up to the mid 1980s spelled the capital city of China "PEKING" - the English spelling used from colonial times. But, then the Chinese began gaining more clout internationally and started complaining, basically that the English versions of the proper Chinese names should at least sound remotely similar to the original pronunciation. Thus, it got changed to BEIJING - not quite the same as the original Mandarin pronunciation, but infinitely better than the perversion that was "PEKING." With any luck, a similar change will happen with Korean. There will certainly be less confusion this way.
Anyway, fuck the textbooks.

i had korean language support, but it didnt show proper symbols for me, all i had to do was to set the encoding (view, encoding) to korean - if you don't have korean language support you may activate in advanced inet options d/l on demand or something and it will d/l all you need.
