- When Koreans write English names like 제리, they use 'Loanword Orthography' rules which standardize how foreign sounds are mapped to Hangul.
- While 제리 is the phonetic spelling for the name 'Jerry', the name 'Jerry' is rarely used by native Koreans and is almost exclusively associated with the mouse from 'Tom and Jerry'.
