Hangul syllable 츺

It represents a syllable sound; context supplies any word-level meaning. Hangul arranges the starting consonant, vowel, and ending consonant of a Korean syllable in one block. This block places ㅊ first, ㅡ in the middle, and ㅍ last.

Hangul was created to write Korean speech directly, when formal writing in Korea relied heavily on Chinese characters. Its first recorded creation dates to 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining its design, appeared in 1446. Earlier names for the script included jeongeum, eonmun, and banjeol. After 1894, gukmun and gukseo became common, while Hangeul had spread as a public name by 1928.

The script's name also varies across Korean communities: Hangul is usual in South Korea, while Choseongul is preferred in North Korea. Jeongum is also used as a neutral label.

Why does 츺 look different in another font?

The font changes its shape, not its identity. Hangul typefaces can give the component letters different proportions and spacing within the syllable block. A more compact or unfamiliar design still represents the same syllable.
