Hangul syllable 뙬

It spells one Korean syllable; the surrounding word gives it meaning.

The block joins an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant: ᄄ + ᅬ + ᆯ. These component letters are called jamo; together, they form one Hangul syllable.

A syllable is not itself a translation. Read 뙬 as part of its Korean word to understand what that word means.

How did Hangul's syllable blocks develop?

Hangul was designed to assemble letters into syllable blocks.

A record of Hunminjeongeum, the original name of the script, dates to 1443; an explanatory book appeared in 1446. It describes how initial, middle, and final letters form syllables, making 뙬 a regular result of Hangul's design rather than a separately invented sign.

In 1894, Joseon gave Hangul official status as its national writing system. During Japanese colonial rule, Korean and Hangul were officially banned, though study and teaching continued; after independence in 1945, Hangul was restored as a foundation of Korean national culture. The block style grew in a writing culture also shaped by Chinese-character writing: Korean Hanja, or Chinese characters used in Korean texts, could appear alongside Hangul.

How do I type 뙬?

A Korean IME can join the component letters as you type.

Enter ᄄ + ᅬ + ᆯ as Hangul jamo in sequence. The input method uses context to assign a consonant an initial or final role, so entering isolated letters can depend on its composition behavior.
