Hangul Syllable Cyilg

It is one Hangul syllable; its word supplies the meaning.

Hangul's history provides context for this structure. The Sejong Sillok, a royal chronicle, mentions Hunminjeongeum in 1443; the book of that name, published in 1446, explains how initial consonants, vowels, and final consonants combine. Hangul was designed to write Korean, so this block belongs to a writing system rather than being a one-off sign.

How is the block assembled?

It combines three Hangul letters: an initial, a vowel, and a final.

Unicode decomposes it as 칅: ᄎ is the initial, ᅴ the vowel, and ᆰ the final. Unicode's compatibility jamo, forms used to show these letters separately, are ㅊ, ㅢ, and ㄺ. CYILG is a generated Unicode label, not a Korean translation.

A Korean IME (keyboard software that combines Hangul letters as you type) assembles the block from ㅊ, ㅡ, ㅣ, ㄹ, ㄱ in that order. Hangul line breaking keeps the syllable together, while fonts place it in a square cell; if an app exposes the parts separately, it is showing decomposed text.

Is 칅 a Korean word?

No standalone word meaning is established as of 2026-09-13.

Inside a Korean word, the surrounding text supplies the sense. Sent alone, this block offers little context for what the sender intends; ask what word or text it came from.
