Script

The native script is called Hŭcukda (this term comes from 翡翠かな or *hisuikana, while this term doesn't exist in Japanese, the project itself has long had an association with jade — more specifically, nephrite — so, it became associated via Japanese with the written script). As is probably obvious, this script is substantially similar to Japanese's hiragana script.
