Text symbol

What 봔 means

It writes a Korean syllable; context gives it a role.

Read it roughly as “bwan,” one syllable. Hangul joins consonant and vowel letters, called jamo, into a block. Computer text can show the finished block or its separate jamo; both reflect the same Hangul syllable structure.

When was Hangul introduced?

The first record dates to the twelfth lunar month of 1443. The record is titled Hunminjeongeum; an explanatory book appeared in 1446.

Hangul was designed to represent Korean speech in a writing system people could learn.

Earlier labels included jeongeum (“correct sounds”) and eonmun (“writing in everyday speech”). The name Hangeul is thought to have entered use at the beginning of the 1910s.

How do I type 봔?

Use a Korean two-set keyboard; its input method joins the letters.

An input method editor (IME) composes a sequence of Hangul letters into one block. The visible block can change as you enter the vowel and final consonant.

Why can the Hangul block change while I type?

It is the input method building the syllable: the display updates as the vowel and final consonant arrive, then settles when the sequence is complete.
