Hangul syllable 꽶

꽶 is one Korean syllable block. Hangul writes a syllable by arranging consonant and vowel letters, called jamo, into one block. Here, the opening consonant is ㄲ, the vowel is ㅙ, and the final consonant cluster is ㅄ. The block shows a syllable; by itself, it does not identify which Korean word is intended.

Hangul was designed for writing Korean in 1443; the 1446 Hunminjeongeum, a royal book explaining the new writing system, described its purpose and letter principles. Rather than relying on Chinese characters, the system represented Korean syllables with letters organized around Korean sounds. It was intended to be learnable without a teacher.

A unified spelling proposal from 1933 became the basis for modern Hangul spelling; the rules were partly revised in 1988.

How do I type 꽶?

Select Korean input and enter the three jamo in order. A Korean input method editor (IME) combines consonant and vowel keystrokes into a syllable block: ㄲ + ㅙ + ㅄ. Here ㅄ is the block's final consonant cluster, not the start of another syllable.

Unicode treats the precomposed block and a version that stores the same jamo separately as canonically equivalent. Text segmentation keeps a Hangul syllable together. If an app displays the components separately, the issue is input handling or font shaping; it does not change the reading.
