How do I type 붜?

With Korean input active, enter ㅂ, then ㅜ, then ㅓ.

A Korean input method (IME) joins those Hangul letters, also called jamo, into 붜. If they stay separate, switch from Latin to Korean input; they have not become a different character.

Hangul was designed for Korean.

Hangul was created in 1443 and explained in the 1446 book Hunminjeongeum. It gave Korean a writing system designed for its sounds and easier to learn than adapting Chinese characters. Earlier methods called Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol used Chinese characters in different ways to write Korean; Hangul arranged its own sound letters into syllable blocks.

After the 1894 Gabo Reform, the script was commonly called gukmun or gukseo. The name Hangeul appears in records from the early 1910s and became widely used after the public holiday was renamed in 1928.
