Chinese characters are never used in North Korea, nor school children learn them.
In South Korea, Hanja are still learned at school, and can be found in newspapers. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

''Officially, hanja has not been used in North Korea since June 1949 (additionally, all texts are now written horizontally instead of vertically).[citation needed] Additionally, many words borrowed from Chinese have been replaced in the North with native Korean words. However, there are a large number of Chinese-borrowed words in widespread usage in the North (although written in hangul), and hanja characters still appear in special contexts, such as recent North Korean dictionaries.''
Print media ''In South Korea, hanja are used most frequently in academic literature, where they often appear without the equivalent hangul spelling.[citation needed] Usually, only those words with a specialized or ambiguous meaning are printed in hanja.[citation needed] In mass-circulation books and magazines, hanja are generally used rarely, and only to gloss words already spelled in hangul when the meaning is ambiguous.[citation needed] Hanja are also often used in newspaper headlines as abbreviations or to eliminate the ambiguity typical of newspaper headlines in any language.[13] In formal publications, personal names are also usually glossed in hanja in parentheses next to the hangul. In contrast, North Korea eliminated the use of hanja even in academic publications by 1949, a situation which has since remained unchanged.[9] .'' So, in North Korea, Hanja appears only in newer dictionaries, but not in newspapers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanja Edited by Medulin on 04 October 2012 at 4:49pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I wonder how are they going to get rid on loanwords in North Korea, when all the long name of NK in native language can be written using hanja
