Hangul Syllable Ceon

8349/11172

천 is the Korean syllable “cheon,” not a word with one fixed meaning. It can stand for 千 “thousand,” 天 “heaven,” or 川 “river,” so the surrounding word decides. Hangul was created in 1443 and explained in 1446; type it as ㅊ ㅓ ㄴ.

Text symbol

What 천 means

It spells the sound “cheon”; the word around it gives the meaning. Many different Hanja share this reading, including 泉 “spring” besides thousand, heaven, and river, so isolated 천 has no single translation. Read it as one sound block made of ㅊ ㅓ ㄴ.
