Hangul syllable byugs

Enter its parts in a Korean IME.

Build it from initial consonant ㅂ, vowel ㅠ, and final consonant pair ㄳ. If your input method takes separate consonants, enter ㅂ, ㅠ, ㄱ, then ㅅ; it may combine the last pair and show the letters separately before forming the syllable.

Unicode can also represent the same block as separate joining Hangul letters. Depending on font support, that sequence may look different from the preassembled form.

What does 뷳 mean?

On its own, it has no established word meaning.

A Hangul syllable block writes a consonant-vowel unit; a Korean word's meaning comes from its syllables and context. The parts of this block do not supply a standalone translation.

As of 2026, this exact block has no established Korean word use on its own.

When did the Hangul system take shape?

The earliest official record of Hangul dates to 1443.

Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining Hangul's letters, was published in 1446. It described letters matched to Korean sounds and assembled into syllables. Spoken Korean differed from Chinese, while Chinese characters (Hanja) were the established writing system.

Earlier Korean names for the writing system included 정음, 언문, 반절, 국문 and 국서; 한글 spread as its name in the early 20th century. Some early Hangul books were Buddhist translations.
