Hangul syllable Ddyem

The parts of 똄 are an initial consonant ᄄ, vowel ᅨ, and final consonant ᆷ. It gives one syllable within a Korean word, so the surrounding syllables identify the word. Unicode can store it as one block or three joining letters; fonts assemble them into the same block, and layout may vary.

Hangul was created for Korean

King Sejong created Hangul in 1443, first calling it Hunminjeongeum. Korean had often been written with Chinese characters, and the new alphabet was designed to make writing Korean easier to learn. A book also called Hunminjeongeum explained the alphabet in 1446. Hangul appeared in Buddhist texts, on everyday labels, and in practical and literary books.
