What 엁 means
Its meaning depends on the Korean word or phrase that contains it. 엁 is one Hangul syllable block: ㅇ is a silent initial, ㅓ is the vowel, and ㄾ is the final consonant cluster ㄹ ㅌ. The small Hangul components are called jamo; together they spell a syllable, not a translated word. As of 2026, no standalone Korean word meaning is established for 엁.
Hangul development was completed under King Sejong in 1443 and promulgated in 1446. It offered a more accessible way to write Korean than older methods that adapted Chinese characters for Korean, including Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal.
How do I type 엁?
Use a Korean 2-set keyboard with a Hangul input method. On the Korean Dubeolsik 2-set layout, ㅇ maps to d, ㅓ to j, and final ㄾ to fx. Type djfx in a Korean IME—software that combines Hangul components into syllable blocks—to form 엁. If the parts stay separate, select Korean input and enable syllable composition.
Neutral and technical: it is a Korean syllable block whose meaning comes from the word that contains it.
Do not treat the syllable's label as a translation of a Korean word.
