Hangul Syllable Bbu

5069/11172

On a standard Korean keyboard, type ShiftQ then N to make 뿌, pronounced ppu. The block is not a word by itself; it gains meaning inside words such as 뿌리, “root” or “origin.” The older form 불휘 was attested in 1447, and the 1446 Hangul treatise explains the sound-based block system behind the modern spelling.

Text symbol

What 뿌 means

Use a Korean IME: press ShiftQ, then N. ShiftQ supplies ㅃ, N supplies ㅜ, and the IME composes them into 뿌. If you see QN, switch the keyboard to Korean input first.

뿌 belongs to the jamo family ㅃ ㅜ, not to picture symbols. Unicode can store it as one precomposed block or as decomposed jamo; if normalization exposes 뿌, the representation changed, not the intended syllable.

Use it as Korean text or as part of a word; alone, it looks clipped to readers who know Korean.

Do not send it alone as if it were a universal reaction.
