Hangul syllable Dyeolh

Type ㄷ, ㅕ, ㄹ, then ㅎ with a Korean input method (IME).

The input method assembles those jamo into a Hangul block; ㄹ + ㅎ form one final jamo, ㅀ, called batchim—the consonant or consonant cluster at the bottom of a syllable.

Does this character have a Korean word or chat meaning?

As of 2026, it has no established Korean word or chat meaning.

It is a Hangul syllable block built from jamo, the consonant and vowel letters used to write Korean. “Dyeolh” is a Unicode-derived label for the initial consonant, vowel, and final cluster, not a translation.

Hangul was first recorded in Sejong Sillok (세종실록), a royal chronicle, in 1443. Hunminjeongeum (훈민정음), a book explaining the script’s creation and principles, was published in 1446. Korean writing also used Chinese characters; Hangul introduced alphabetic letters arranged to represent Korean syllables. Earlier names for the script included 정음, 언문, and 반절. After the 1894 reform in Korea, 국문 and 국서 were common names; 한글 appears in records from the early 1910s. Older Korean can also be written with conjoining jamo, sequences used for archaic syllables excluded from modern use by the 1933 orthographic standard.

Why does the bottom cluster matter?

The bottom pair is one final cluster, not a second syllable.

In Korean, ㅀ is a compound final consonant. Depending on the surrounding word, only one of its consonants may be heard; the isolated character does not determine that pronunciation.
