Hangul syllable Ggwaelt

Its role comes from the Korean word around it.

Hangul spells Korean with compact blocks built from consonant and vowel letters, called jamo. 꽱 supplies one syllable inside a word or name; on its own, it does not identify the full word or what the writer meant. If it arrives alone, treat it as a fragment and ask for context.

Hangul was created in 1443. Hunminjeongeum, the guide that introduced its letters, was published in 1446. The new letters were designed to make writing Korean easier to learn than adapting Chinese characters, which were then used to write Korean. Hangul later coexisted with Hanja, the Chinese characters used in Korean texts, before becoming Joseon Korea’s official script in 1894. Scholars have proposed influence from ʼPhags-pa, a script used during the Mongol Empire, but that link is debated.

How do I type 꽱?

Use the Korean two-set layout called Dubeolsik.

With Korean input active, press the Latin-labeled keys R, H, O, F, X. The input method groups them as ㄲ + ㅙ + ㄾ to build 꽱; the last two keys create its final consonant cluster.
