Hangul syllable At

앝 is a Korean syllable whose meaning comes from its word. It combines initial ㅇ, vowel ㅏ, and final ㅌ into one written block.

At the end of a syllable, final ㅌ is a clipped t with no audible release. It can sound the same there as the finals in 앋, 앗, 았, 앚, 앛, and 앟, though their spellings differ. Before ㅣ, the sound shifts to ㅊ, like the ch in chew.

How did Hangul develop?

Hangul was designed as a system for writing Korean. Its recognizable form was created in 1443; its purpose and principles were published in 1446. It gave Korean a systematic writing system alongside a tradition of Chinese characters and Korean adaptations of them.

Hangul also appeared in Buddhist and Confucian texts, practical records, and official documents. 앝 uses the script’s regular syllable structure.

How do I type 앝?

Enter ㅇ, then ㅏ, then ㅌ in a Korean input method. A Korean input method (IME), the software that turns keystrokes into Korean writing, combines those Hangul letters in that order into 앝.

Unicode can also represent the same syllable with a sequence of three joining Hangul components, 앝. It is equivalent Korean text to precomposed 앝, and compatible software can display the sequence as one block.
