Hangul syllable Cweom

As of 2026, 췀 has no established standalone meaning. Read it within a Korean word or name.

A block joins an opening consonant, a vowel and a closing consonant. 췀 sounds roughly “chweom,” with “ch” as in “chip” and a final m. Unicode can also store it as three joining Korean letters; fonts may position those parts differently.

Hangul was developed in 1443 to make Korean easier to write and help scholars record Chinese-character readings. A book explaining the new letters was completed in 1446. The script later became everyday writing in both Koreas, which use different names for it.
