Hangul syllable Ddegs

It is one Korean syllable, built from Hangul letter parts.

The letter parts are called jamo: ㄸ is the initial consonant, ㅔ the vowel, and ㄳ the final cluster. These are their displayed compatibility-jamo forms. The Unicode name “Ddegs” describes the structure; it is not a dictionary definition.

Before Hangul, Korean writing used Chinese characters and adapted systems such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal to record Korean speech. Hangul was created in 1443; the Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining the script’s purpose and principles, appeared in 1446. Its use extended to Buddhist scriptures, Confucian and practical texts, and everyday correspondence; it later became official writing and was suppressed during Japanese rule. That is the history of the script, not a special meaning carried by this syllable.

How do I type 떿?

Use the Korean two-set keyboard layout.

On Dubeolsik, the Korean two-set layout, Eprt means Shift+E, then P, R, T. Those keys enter ㄸ, ㅔ, ㄱ, ㅅ; a Korean input method editor (IME) combines ㄱ and ㅅ as final ㄳ and builds 떿.

Entering ㄸㅔㄳ directly gives three standalone compatibility jamo, not this one syllable. A font without the Hangul glyph may show a fallback mark; limited shaping support can also affect how separate jamo appear.
