Hangul Syllable Bbalg

It is a Hangul syllable block with no standalone word meaning.

To read the Hangul jamo in 빩, break it into ᄈ + ᅡ + ᆰ. The same parts can be displayed with compatibility jamo—standalone forms used to show individual Hangul letters—as ㅃ + ㅏ + ㄺ. The surrounding Korean word supplies the meaning.

Encoded as one precomposed character, 빩 is stored as a single unit. The equivalent decomposed jamo sequence can appear as a joined syllable block or as separated letters if the font or text software does not support Hangul shaping. Hangul was devised as a systematic way to write Korean and make it easier to learn. Its creation is recorded in 1443; the 1446 Hunminjeongeum—a text explaining the new script's purpose and principles—sets out how the system works. The script was also called jeongeum, eonmun, and banjeol; after the Gabo Reform of 1894, it was also called gukmun or gukseo. Records show the name Hangeul in use from early 1910s; it spread widely after the holiday marking the script was renamed Hangeul Day in 1928.
