Hangul Syllable Bbwenh

It is a Hangul syllable block with no fixed meaning by itself. In Korean writing, this block fills one syllable position inside a word; alone, it does not identify a particular word or message. Hangul blocks are assembled from Jamo, the consonant and vowel letters of the script. Here, initial ㅃ, vowel ㅞ, and final ㄶ share one block.

The history belongs to Hangul, not to a separate invention of this block. Hangul was designed to represent Korean speech with learnable syllable blocks. The first written record of Hunminjeongeum, the text that introduced the script, and its explanatory book are dated 1443 and 1446, respectively.

Earlier Korean writing also used archaic Jamo, additional letters that are not components of this modern block.

How do I type 쀊?

A Korean IME can assemble its three parts as one block. Enter the initial, vowel, and final in order; the input method combines them into a syllable block. The literal keystrokes depend on your keyboard layout.

Unicode normalization can store the same text as precomposed 쀊 in NFC or as its underlying conjoining Jamo in NFD. These forms are canonically equivalent, but raw code-point searches and exact string comparisons may distinguish them.

Why does 쀊 look different in different fonts?

Different fonts can draw the same character differently. Font design can change the placement, shape, or size of its Jamo components; the underlying character stays the same.
