Hangul syllable Cyeoc

It is a Hangul block whose meaning comes from its word.

The character name identifies the block's component sounds, not a Korean dictionary definition. Read 쳧 within a Korean word or phrase to know what it contributes.

Hangul's 28-letter design dates to 1443; its explanatory guide, Hunminjeongeum, followed in 1446. Devised under King Sejong, it let Korean be written more directly than through earlier systems such as Idu, gugyeol and hyangchal, which adapted Chinese characters to represent Korean words and grammar. Some literati resisted Hangul before it spread through translations, Buddhist books, literature and education. A 1894 decree made Korean the basis for laws and orders. That history belongs to Hangul, not to a special meaning for 쳧.

How do I type 쳧?

A Korean IME joins its three jamo into one block.

Enter ㅊ, ㅕ, then final ㅊ; the input method should compose 쳧. Jamo are Hangul's building-block letters. Physical keys vary by keyboard layout, so the character name is not a key sequence.

Why can 쳧 split into jamo?

Normalization can reveal the block's three jamo.

In decomposed text, 쳧 can appear as ᄎ + ᅧ + ᆾ. These are the leading consonant, vowel and final consonant in the same syllable. A font and app with Hangul shaping support join them visually; weaker support can leave the pieces separated.

The final ㅊ is the consonant at the bottom of a Hangul block. At a word boundary or before another consonant, it can be pronounced as a clipped t-type ending; before a vowel, it can link into the next syllable. Its structural name does not decide its sound without that context.
