Hangul syllable Ddoenj

As of 2026, 뙩 has no established standalone word meaning.

It is a Hangul syllable block used in Korean writing, not an emoji. A Korean IME can build it from ㄸ, then ㅚ, then ㄵ.

The earliest surviving official record of Hangul dates to December 1443. Its explanatory book was completed and published in 1446. Hangul was made to let people write Korean more easily than through Chinese characters; it later served religious, practical, literary, and official writing. That history belongs to Hangul as a script, not to a separately invented sign named 뙩.

How do I type 뙩?

Use a Korean IME to assemble its three parts in order.

Select a Korean keyboard layout and enter the starting consonant ㄸ, the vowel ㅚ, then the final cluster ㄵ. The IME combines them into one block; exact key presses vary by layout and device.

Why does 뙩 look different?

Font layout can change the parts without changing the character.

Hangul syllables can appear as one precomposed block or as separate jamo, the letters used to build syllable blocks. Fonts may change the parts’ placement, shape, and size, so a different appearance can come from font design.

The jamo sequence for 뙩 is ᄄ + ᅬ + ᆬ: ᄄ starts the block, ᅬ is its vowel, and ᆬ closes it. The modern Hangul spelling convention traces to a unified proposal from 1933; that date concerns the script’s standardization, not a special origin for this syllable.
