You might enjoy the story of how the Korean written language, Hangul, came about. It was developed by one of the Kings because he thought the average Korean should have a language they could read and write and leaning Chinese characters was difficult for many—probably for no other reason that most didn’t have the luxury of time that the nobles and scholars had.
These is an historical movie about the event—I suspect it’s romanticized but the main lines are probably pretty accurate. Called The King’s Letters.
