Hangul syllable Cyaeng

As of 2026, no standalone word meaning is established for 첑. A Korean word supplies the context that tells you how this syllable functions.

Hangul was completed under King Sejong in 1443. Its guide, Hunminjeongeum, was published in 1446 to make reading and writing Korean accessible beyond Chinese-character literacy. The script later became known as Hangul; as of 2026, Choseongul is the preferred North Korean term for it. These dates describe Hangul's development, not the first use of this exact syllable.

Hangul combines an initial consonant, a vowel, and sometimes a final consonant into a syllable block. Unicode can also represent the same structure as a sequence of smaller jamo, so composed and decomposed text can have different code-point sequences while looking alike.
