Tips

usage
Korean names get rendered into Chinese using the original Hanja (Chinese characters) the Korean syllables stand for, not by phonetic approximation. 英燮 pairs ('outstanding/heroic', a stock male-name character) with ('to harmonize'), both classical Hanja choices. 영섭 in Korean is pronounced Yeong-seop, but a Chinese reader sees it as Yīngxiè. The character is rare in modern Chinese names but historically meant 'to bring harmony' (the phrase 燮理阴阳, 'to harmonize yin and yang', referred to the prime minister's role).
