What 읗 means
It completes the Korean name 히읗 for ㅎ. Hangul writes Korean syllables in blocks of letters. A Korean primer, Hunmong Jahoe (1527), records a consonant-naming pattern using syllables for beginning and ending sounds; ㅎ's old name used only the beginning form, 히.
A unified spelling standard fixed the modern name 히읗 in 1933. As of 2026, a Korean consonant-learning song uses 읗 to teach the ending of that name.
