Hangul Syllable Cyaep

It spells one Korean syllable; its word supplies the meaning.

Hangul groups Korean consonant and vowel letters, called jamo, into syllable blocks; 첖 combines ㅊ, ㅒ and final ㅍ. The Sejong court annals, a historical record, mention the new script in 1443; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum was published in 1446. Before Hangul, Korean used Chinese characters in systems such as Idu and Hyangchal, which adapted them to write Korean words and sounds. Hangul was designed for Korean speech and easier reading, including legal and scholarly texts. Hanja (Chinese characters used in Korean) retained prestige, while Hangul was in general use by the early twentieth century.

How do I type 첖?

In Korean mode, press c, Shift+o, then v on a two-set QWERTY keyboard.

Those keys enter initial ㅊ, vowel ㅒ and final ㅍ; the Korean input method joins them. In English mode, the keys type Latin letters.

Unicode can also store the same syllable as three Hangul letters, called jamo, which are arranged as a block when shaped. An app or font without the needed Hangul shaping may leave the letters visibly apart.
