What 둠 means
둠 is a Korean syllable whose meaning depends on context. Created in 1443 to write Korean directly, Hangul was introduced in 1446 through Hunminjeongeum, its letter guide. Idu and Hyangchal used Chinese characters for Korean; Gugyeol marked Chinese texts for Korean reading.
Hangul coexisted with Chinese-character writing: people across social ranks used it for letters and practical texts, while official documents stayed mostly in Chinese until 1894.
