Hangul syllable Cwet

By itself, it has no fixed word-level translation. 췥 is one Hangul syllable block built from three component letters (jamo): initial consonant ㅊ, vowel ㅞ, and final consonant ㅌ. The Korean word or sentence around it tells you how to translate it.

Hangul is the writing system used for Korean. Created under King Sejong in 1443, it was designed as a learnable way to write Korean speech: consonant shapes reflect how the mouth forms them, and vowels combine three basic strokes associated with sky, earth, and people. A 1446 explanatory book, Hunminjeongeum (“Correct Sounds for the Instruction of the People”), described its purpose and design; its letters combine into syllable blocks like 췥.

Records from the beginning of the 1910s already use the name Hangeul; it became widely used after 1928. That history concerns the writing system’s name, not a separate meaning for this block.

Build the block with a Korean input method

On a Korean input method, enter the initial ㅊ, vowel ㅞ, then final ㅌ; the input method assembles them into one block.

The separate sequence 췥 is the decomposed form of the same syllable; Unicode normalization can recombine it as 췥. If it displays as a box, the font or app may not support Hangul.
