Hangul syllable Genh

On the Korean Dubeolsik layout, enter rpsg. Dubeolsik maps r to ㄱ, p to ㅔ, s to ㄴ, and g to ㅎ; the last two form the final cluster ㄶ.

Some tools accept or display the decomposed jamo sequence ᄀ + ᅦ + ᆭ instead of one precomposed block. It represents the same syllable, though it may appear as separate letters.

What does 겒 mean?

By itself, 겒 has no established everyday word meaning. As of 2026, no settled standalone or chat reading is established for this exact block. Unicode’s algorithmic name GENH is assembled from its jamo components, not translated from a Korean word.

Hangeul was devised in 1443 to address a practical gap: Korean differs from Chinese, while earlier methods—idu, gugyeol, and hyangchal—used Chinese characters to represent Korean. The 1446 Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the new writing system, explained its principles. Those methods belong to Hangeul’s history; they are not visual ancestors of 겒.

What should I make of 겒 sent alone?

Treat a bare 겒 as an unresolved spelling reference.

Middle Korean noun stems ending in ㅎ sometimes lost or changed that ending in later forms, with regional and social variation. This history explains h-bearing endings in Korean orthography; it does not identify this isolated block as an archaic word. Ask the sender which Korean word or source text they intended.
