Keyboard layout mismatches are common enough that I assume Google has a layout detection stage hardcoded just like they have typo correction hardcoded. And the creators of said algorithms probably understand very well how they work. (The naïve way would be to convert from every possible layout to every other layout, but I think you could build something more lightweight using Hidden Markov Models.)

In this case the "writing system" is the set of typos that would occur when someone with an English and Korean keyboard layout forgets to switch off English and keystrokes what they expect would be the Korean. "Midjourney" is "alemwjsl" in that typo writing system

No I mean how do you never come across "transliteration", is that really such an unusual word?

I don't think so, but I grew up before cell phones and AI so I had to learn how to read. I'll leave the explanation for the rest who skip over the guillemet at the beginning like I did.
