Hangul syllable 챥

Read 챥 as a Korean syllable; context supplies any word meaning.

Hangul builds syllable blocks from letters called jamo. Here, ㅊ is the initial consonant, ㅑ the vowel, and ㄵ the final consonant cluster. The block gives a syllable, while a Korean word or name gives it meaning.

Hangul's creation is recorded in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the new script, was published in 1446. Korean had also been written with Chinese characters and mixed methods such as idu, which used Chinese characters to represent Korean speech. Hangul's letter-and-block design offered a more direct way to write Korean; 챥 is one result of that system.

How do I type 챥?

With a Korean IME, enter ㅊ, ㅑ, then ㄵ in order.

A Korean IME is keyboard software that combines Hangul letters into syllable blocks. Unicode also allows this syllable to be represented by the conjoining letters ᄎ, ᅣ and ᆬ; a Hangul-aware renderer can join them into one block.
