What 삠 means
In Korean, 삠 means a sprain.
It names an injury caused by twisting or straining a joint; the formal medical term is 염좌.
Hangul’s square syllable blocks date to fifteenth-century Korea. Its letter-like consonants and vowels are arranged into those blocks to write Korean syllables; 삠 follows that system.
How do I type 삠?
A Korean keyboard composes it from ㅃ + ㅣ + ㅁ.
The Korean input method combines the first consonant, vowel, and final consonant into one block. If they remain separate or appear as Latin letters, switch the keyboard to Korean input.
Why does 삠 look different in fonts?
The font reshapes the same components inside the block.
Hangul typefaces adjust each component’s position and spacing within a square syllable cell, so proportions can vary even though the character stays the same.
Plain, everyday Korean injury vocabulary.
