Hangul syllable Ddoegs

Use a Korean input method (IME) to enter its three parts. Enter initial ᄄ, vowel ᅬ, and final consonant cluster ᆪ in that order; the input method combines them into 뙧.

Unicode can also store Hangul in a decomposed form, with the jamo separate. A normalization step can recombine them into the same syllable block.

What does 뙧 mean?

The name labels its parts; it does not translate a Korean word. Unicode builds the name “Ddoegs” from ᄄ (initial consonant), ᅬ (vowel), and ᆪ (final consonant cluster). Meaning comes from its use in Korean text around it.

뙧 is a possible Hangul syllable block, not a separate sign with its own origin. Hangeul is first recorded in the Sejong Sillok (royal annals) in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a guide explaining the script, was published in 1446. The script was designed to make Korean writing more accessible than Chinese-character methods then in use. It later appeared in Buddhist and Confucian books, practical guides, labels, and private letters, and received official national recognition in 1894. Earlier Korean writing used Hanja (Chinese characters) and related practices such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal; they are part of that history, not meanings of this block.
