Where does 겣 fit in Hangul history?

It belongs to the history of Hangul.

Hangul was devised in 1443 and explained in a 1446 book, giving Korean speakers a practical way to write without first learning Chinese characters.

Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal adapted Chinese characters to Korean; they are related traditions, not visual ancestors of 겣. Hangul circulated beside Chinese characters until it became Korea’s official national writing system in 1894. 1996 dates this block’s Unicode encoding, not Hangul’s origin.
