Hangul syllable 쀯

It is one Hangul block representing a Korean syllable.

Inside it, ᄈ is the initial consonant, ᅱ the vowel, and ᆶ the final consonant cluster. These parts are jamo, the letter forms that combine into Hangul syllables. The syllable contributes to a word; the surrounding Korean text makes its meaning clear.

Hangul was devised in 1443 and formally published in 1446 so Korean speakers could write their language without depending only on Chinese characters. It became an official writing system in Korea in 1894, and the name Hangeul spread in the early 20th century. These milestones describe the script’s public role, not a separate history for this syllable.

Why does 쀯 occupy one block?

Hangul arranges a syllable’s parts inside a compact cell.

Modern Hangul places an initial consonant and vowel, plus an optional final consonant, inside one square syllable cell. Unicode decomposition shows that 쀯 follows this pattern: ᄈ + ᅱ + ᆶ.

Fonts draw the block, so its proportions and stroke details can vary between apps without changing the character. This character’s Unicode encoding dates to 1996.
