Help needed with two characters.: Hiya all. :) I need to find the korean characters for the word "heaven" and the word "earth". I believe the words are chon and ji. My browser won't read them on the forum, you could email them to me or paste a link if you know where to find them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Korean for Heaven and Earth: The Word for Heaven in Hangul is 천국
It is pronounced ch’ǒnguk
The Hanja (Chinese) character is 天國
The Word for Earth in Hangul is 지구
It is pronounced chigu
The Hanja (Chinese) character is 地(_)

Yes, it is chon/chun and ji. You are probably taking this from taekwondo (태권도) aren't you? =) The previous poster put up the Chinese characters for it. If you are going to refer to it as "chonji" together like that, and not as individual complete words, you should just use the single Chinese characters that represent them > 天地 (천지)
EDIT: to disable the smilies.
