Hangul Syllable Bbat

빹 is one Korean syllable; the word around it supplies meaning.

The block combines ㅃ as its initial consonant, ㅏ as its vowel, and ㅌ as its final consonant. These component letters are called jamo. Unicode’s name “Bbat” labels the syllable; it does not translate a Korean word.

A 1443 record describes the new Hangul writing system, designed to make Korean easier to write and learn than with Hanja (Chinese characters used in Korean) and Idu (a method of using Chinese characters to write Korean). Hangul was promulgated in 1446 and later used in letters, Buddhist texts, novels, and official writing. This is the history of Hangul as a system, not a special meaning for this single syllable.
