Hangul Syllable Baeh

It represents a syllable, not a word definition.

Hangul builds this block from three jamo (individual letters): ㅂ, the opening consonant; ㅐ, the vowel; and ㅎ, the final consonant. Korean calls the final-consonant position batchim. Unicode joins short labels for those parts to make the name “BAEH”; the name describes this block's structure, not a Korean word. If this is a whole message, ask the sender what word or sound they intended.

How do I type 뱋 with a Korean keyboard?

Enter ㅂ, then ㅐ, then ㅎ.

Korean keyboard software, called an input method (IME), combines those jamo into one block as you type. The physical keys depend on the layout, but the jamo order stays the same.

Why are Hangul syllables written in blocks?

Hangul was designed to arrange Korean sounds into blocks.

Before Hangul, Korean writing used Chinese characters (Hanja) and mixed systems such as Idu, which adapted characters to Korean sounds and grammar. Hangul was designed to write Korean speech directly and make reading and writing easier to learn.

The script's first recorded name was Hunminjeongeum (“correct sounds to instruct the people”). King Sejong's court created it in 1443; an explanatory book appeared in 1446.

Early names included jeongeum, eonmun, and banjeol; gukmun or gukseo (“national writing”) became common after the 1894 Gabo Reform. “Hangeul” appears in records from the 1910s and became widely used after 1928.
