Hangul syllable 쳏

One syllable only; the Korean word supplies its meaning.

쳏 is a Hangul syllable block built from initial consonant ㅊ, vowel ㅔ, and final consonant ㅎ. It contributes one syllable to a Korean word or name. In Unicode's decomposed form, its three component letters, called jamo, appear as 쳏.

Hangul's early records point to 1443 and 1446: the first record of Hunminjeongeum, the script's original name, and its explanatory book. Hangul was designed as a systematic way to write Korean. A unified Korean spelling proposal followed in 1933. These dates describe the writing system and its spelling, not a special origin for 쳏.

How do I type 쳏?

Use Korean input and enter ㅊ, ㅔ, then ㅎ.

With Korean input active on the standard Dubeolsik two-set layout, press C, P, then G; the input method combines them into 쳏.

Unicode can represent the same text as one precomposed syllable or as 쳏, three separate jamo. Unicode normalization is a text-processing step that can switch between these canonically equivalent forms; a tool that inspects text may show the parts separately.
