Hangul syllable Bboss

Its three letters make one Korean syllable block. ᄈ begins it, ᅩ is the vowel, and ᆻ ends it; the Korean word around it gives the syllable meaning.

Hangul was created in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the script, appeared in 1446. Before Hangul, people adapted Chinese characters to write Korean through methods such as Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol. Hangul represents Korean sounds in syllable blocks and later became ordinary Korean writing.
