Hangul syllable 쀛

It is one block of Korean writing.

The block represents one syllable, not a whole phrase. In a Korean word or sentence, the surrounding syllables show how it fits.

Why was Hangul made?

To make Korean easier to write and learn.

Before Hangul, Korean was often written using Chinese characters. That system was difficult for many learners and did not map neatly onto spoken Korean.

A record dates Hangul’s creation to 1443. The Hunminjeongeum, a guide from 1446, explains the script’s purpose, principles, sounds, and examples.

In 1894, Hangul became Korea’s official national script. Print later widened its reach through newspapers, novels, and other publications. These dates describe Hangul as a writing system, not the first use of this particular syllable.
