Hangul syllable bwaen

It is one Korean syllable, not a self-contained definition.

Hangul arranges letters into blocks; this one has ㅂ at the start, ㅙ in the middle, and ㄴ at the end. A common Latin-letter spelling is bwaen; approximate the sound as b, a brief glide into “eh,” then n. The Korean word supplies its meaning.

Hangul was developed under King Sejong in the 15th century. Its design let Koreans write their language without first mastering Chinese characters. The 1443–1446 Hunminjeongeum, a text explaining the new script, set out its principles. Hangul became ordinary Korean writing and has also appeared beside hanja, Chinese characters used in Korean texts. Digital Hangul encodes syllable blocks by a regular composition rule; an encoded block is a possible spelling, not proof that it stands alone as a word.

How do I type 봰?

With Korean input active, enter ㅂ + ㅙ + ㄴ.

On the standard Dubeolsik Korean keyboard layout, press q-h-o-s: q enters ㅂ, h then o forms ㅙ, and s enters ㄴ. The input method assembles them as you type.

If the letters stay separate, check that Korean input is active. A box in place of the glyph usually means the font cannot display it. Unicode represents this syllable both as a ready-made block and as a sequence of separate Hangul letters; fonts may render those forms differently.
