Hangul syllable cyulb

It is a Hangul spelling block, not a word. It joins ㅊ (the initial consonant), ㅠ (the vowel), and the compound final ㄼ, made from ㄹ + ㅂ. The spelling label “cyulb” describes that structure, not a translation. At a word’s end or before another consonant, ㄼ is usually heard as the ㄹ part, roughly like an “l” sound; in a few specific words, the ㅂ part instead sounds like “p.”

As of 2026-09-13, 츏 has no standard standalone dictionary sense. If someone sent 츏 on its own, read it as an exact character sample or possible input slip; a private joke needs a cue from the chat.

Where did 츏 come from?

It belongs to Hangul’s designed syllable-block system. Hangul was completed in 1443, and its explanatory book, Hunminjeongeum, was published in 1446. It gave Korean a native writing system at a time when writing relied heavily on Classical Chinese.

츏 is one possible block in a system that combines a starting consonant, a vowel, and an optional final. Hangul’s square syllable layout shares a visual format with Chinese-character writing; that is a connection in layout and historical context, not evidence that 츏 descends from a Chinese character.

How do I type 츏?

On a Korean 2-set input method, type c-b-f-q. On a QWERTY keyboard using the Dubeolsik layout, c enters ㅊ, b enters ㅠ, f adds ㄹ, and q adds ㅂ; the input method combines the final pair into ㄼ and forms 츏.
