Hangul Syllable Dyigs

Its parts form a written syllable; context gives it a role.

Its parts are initial consonant ㄷ, vowel ㅢ, and final pair of consonant letters ㄳ. They show how the block is built, but do not provide a dictionary definition. A Korean word or sentence supplies the context that determines how the syllable is read and what role it plays.

The origin of 듻 lies in Hangul’s block design. Hangul was created in 1443. The 1446 book Hunminjeongeum introduced the Korean writing system and explained its design. The square syllable blocks were shaped in part by Chinese-character writing, but their components represent Korean sounds. Hangul grew from a new literacy tool into everyday writing; that is the script’s history, not a separate invention or meaning for this block. As of 2026, 듻 has no established standalone word meaning or fixed social convention.

How do I type 듻?

Enter ㄷ + ㅢ + ㄳ with Korean keyboard input.

On the common Korean 2-set layout, press e-m-l-r-t: e enters ㄷ, m then l builds ㅢ, and r then t builds ㄳ. The keyboard combines these Hangul letters into 듻; the Latin key labels are keystrokes, not its pronunciation.

Unicode can also decompose and recompose a Hangul block through its component letters. This can change how software stores or processes the text, but not which syllable it represents.
