Hangul Syllable Ggwij

1059/11172

뀢 is a Hangul syllable block built from opening consonant ᄁ, vowel ᅱ, and ending consonant ᆽ. “Ggwij” is Unicode’s component-based label, not a translation. Alone, the block gives you a Korean syllable, so context is needed to tell which word it belongs to.

Text symbol

What 뀢 means

It spells a Korean syllable; “ggwij” labels its parts. Unicode joins the short names of the starting consonant ᄁ, vowel ᅱ, and final consonant ᆽ to form “ggwij”; it is not an English translation.

Hangul was created under King Sejong to write Korean. Before it, Korean was written with Chinese characters and systems that adapted them to Korean, including Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal. First called Hunminjeongeum (훈민정음, “Correct Sounds to Teach the People”), the 28-letter system was created in 1443, explained in a book published in 1446, and became Korea’s official writing system in 1894.

Neutral Korean writing; on its own, it gives a syllable without its word context.

Why does 뀢 look different in fonts?

Hangul fonts can position and draw the syllable’s parts differently; this changes its appearance, not which character it is.
