What 듙 means
듙 is a Hangul syllable block built from three letters. Those letters, called jamo, are ㄷ, ㅠ, and ㅌ: an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant. Its assigned name describes that construction; it does not identify a particular Korean word. Inside a word, the surrounding Korean supplies the lexical meaning.
Hangul’s earliest official record appears in December 1443, when a court record mentioned 28 new letters. Hunminjeongeum, the book explaining the writing system, followed in 1446. Hangul was designed to represent Korean directly and make reading and writing easier for people without a Chinese-character education. Korean writing also used Hanja (Chinese characters) and adaptations such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal to represent Korean; these practices belong to Hangul’s history, but do not give this block a separate meaning.
Hangul’s public role changed over time: common people and women helped it spread while official writing remained centered on Chinese characters. Later, novels and commercial printing widened its reach; in 1894, Hangeul entered official national use. Those are changes in the alphabet’s public role, not a documented meaning change for this rare block.
How do you type 듙?
Enter ㄷ, then ㅠ, then ㅌ in a Korean IME. An input method composes the letters into 듙 as you type. On Windows, switch Microsoft Korean IME to Hangul mode; its on-screen keyboard or IME Pad shows the physical key map.

1Why do I see 듙 instead of 듙?
It is the same Hangul sequence written with its three jamo separately instead of as one composed block. Text normalization—the software’s choice of representation—or font handling can expose the parts; that changes how the sequence appears, not what it encodes.
