Some interesting niche bits: there was an attempt at Linear Hangul; there is an Indonesian language (Cia-Cia) that has nothing to do with Korean that uses Hangul; the original script had many more letters (such as a triple dot or triangle) than are currently common.

Looks like it was more a political stun than anything really wanted or useful to the population: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jrca/15/0/15_KJ00009911... (when reading the conclusion)

		I expected that kind of remarks. Contrary to Western and Korean beliefs, Japanese researchers aren't obsessed with shitting on South Korea 24/7. There's a lot of individuals genuinely interested other languages and cultures, studying things like the Korean speakers in China's Yanbei province. In the article I linked, there are more references to research articles on the topic written by Japanese than what exists in English.

Another alternate form is SKATS (Standard Korean Alphabetic Transliteration System) which is used for representing Korean in Morse Code.
