Hangul syllable Bej

벶 is one block in Hangul, the Korean writing system; its meaning comes from the Korean word or name around it. As of 2026, it has no standard reaction meaning on its own. A Korean keyboard forms the block from three letters as you type. Hangul was completed in 1443 to make Korean writing more accessible to people who could not read Chinese characters.

What 벶 means

It has no standard meaning alone; read it in a Korean word. 벶 is made from three Hangul letters: ㅂ, the opening consonant; ㅔ, the vowel; and ㅈ, the closing consonant.

An early guide to the system, the Hunminjeongeum manuscript, was published in 1446 and explains how it works. Hangul was designed to make written Korean accessible to people who could not read Chinese characters. It spread among common people, in women's correspondence and Buddhist texts, and through novels in the later Joseon dynasty, a Korean kingdom. Official documents adopted it in the late nineteenth century.

Neutral as a syllable in Korean text; by itself, it lacks context.

If someone sent 벶 alone, don't read it as a reaction; ask for context.

Why does 벶 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
