Hangul syllable dyeo

The Korean syllable 뎌 (dyeo) gets its role from the surrounding word. Historical writing preserves it; Middle Korean texts also used it occasionally as a pronoun.

Text symbol

What 뎌 means

The surrounding word gives it meaning.

Hangul, Korea's writing system, was created in the 15th century. Its blocks combine consonant and vowel letters: 뎌 joins ㄷ and ㅕ.

A 1908 Korean poem preserves 뎌푸른 하날, 뎌것은, and 뎌世上 (世上 means “world”).

Does 뎌 relate to 져 and 저?

Historical sources trace 뎌 to 져, then to 저.

Palatalization moves a consonant's articulation toward the palate, changing its sound.

In the Middle Korean period, 뎌 sometimes served as a third-person pronoun for someone already mentioned; modern Korean uses 그.

Why does 뎌 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
