Hangul syllable 뿶

A Hangul block that needs its Korean word for meaning.

It combines initial consonant ㅃ, vowel ㅝ, and final cluster ㄿ, which serves as the batchim—the consonant ending of the syllable. A Korean word or phrase supplies its full reading and sense.

As of 2026, this exact block has no established standalone word or message meaning. If it arrives alone, read it as an isolated Korean character, not a reliable reaction, and ask for the surrounding words.

Where does this block come from?

Its history is part of Hangul, the Korean writing system.

The earliest documentary record of Hunminjeongeum appears in the Sejong Sillok, a chronicle of King Sejong's reign, in 1443; the explanatory book was published in 1446. It describes the letter forms and how starting consonants, vowels, and ending consonants make syllables.

Hangul was devised to write the language of Joseon, a Korean kingdom. The name Hangeul appears in records from the early 1910s; modern Korean spelling follows a 1933 proposal, partly revised in 1988. This is the history of the writing system, not an origin date for this individual block.

How is 뿶 built?

A Korean input method joins the parts in order.

On a Korean keyboard with an input method editor (IME)—software that assembles Hangul as you type—enter ㅃ, then ㅝ, then ㄿ. The final part is a two-consonant cluster; leaving it out produces a different syllable.

Unicode normalization can split or recompose the syllable: NFD (decomposed form) represents it as three separate Hangul letters, or jamo, 뿶; NFC (composed form) joins them as 뿶. A font may shape those separate letters to look like one block while the text still contains three characters.
