Hangul syllable dib

Alone, 딥 has no fixed meaning; in compounds, it renders English “deep.” 딥러닝 means “deep learning,” and 딥페이크 refers to synthetic media made with deep-learning techniques. 딥테크 means “deep tech”; 심층 기술 is a Korean alternative. In each case, the rest of the compound sets the precise sense.

Hangul is the Korean writing system, devised to represent spoken Korean directly. Hangul syllables are written as blocks of letters; the system dates to 1443, and an explanatory book called Hunminjeongeum was published in 1446. In 딥, ㄷ is the initial consonant, ㅣ the vowel, and ㅂ the final consonant.

Unicode can represent the same syllable as one block or as a sequence of three component Hangul letters. Software that displays the decomposed sequence without recomposing it may show the letters separately.
