Hangul Syllable Dyus

It is a Hangul syllable whose meaning depends on its word.

Its block combines ㄷ, ㅠ, and final ㅅ. Those parts show how it is written, not a fixed translation; a Korean word or name supplies the meaning. Sent by itself, it can read like a fragment.

Hangul was designed in Korea to represent Korean speech more directly and be easier to learn than writing through Chinese characters. The earliest surviving record dates to late 1443; the Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining the system, appeared in 1446. Older Korean writing practices included Hanja, Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal, which used Chinese characters in different ways to write Korean. 듓 itself is built from alphabetic Hangul letters.

How do you type 듓?

On a Korean keyboard, enter ㄷ, ㅠ, then ㅅ.

A Korean input method (IME) assembles the letters as you type, so there is no dedicated key for the finished block. With the standard Dubeolsik two-set layout, type E-B-T while Hangul input is active.

Hangul fonts may place the strokes differently within the square syllable cell. Text can store the same syllable as one precomposed character or as separate Hangul letters that a supporting renderer combines into a block.
