What 췮 means
It contributes a syllable sound; the surrounding word carries meaning. The opening ㅊ sounds like “ch” in “chin,” and ㅟ is roughly “wi.” ㄶ is a compound batchim, or final consonant; its sound depends on what follows.
Hangul was devised in 1443 to ease Korean writing; its principles were proclaimed in 1446. Syllable blocks appeared alongside Hanja, Chinese characters used in Korean writing.
The script name Hangeul appears in records in the early 1910s and spread widely after 1928.
