Hangul syllable Ggyess

It contributes one syllable to a Korean word. Hangul is the Korean writing system; each block groups letters called jamo.

Hangul was designed to make Korean speech easier to write than with Chinese characters and local adaptations then in use. A 1443 entry in Sejong Sillok, a royal chronicle, records the new script; Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining its letters, appeared in 1446.

Hangul later appeared in Buddhist and Confucian texts, practical notices and labels, letters, and books. It became Korea's official national writing system in 1894 and lost that status under Japanese rule in 1910. In 꼤, ㄲ is the opening consonant, ㅖ the vowel, and ㅆ the final consonant.

How do I type 꼤?

Enter ㄲ, then ㅖ, then ㅆ on a Korean keyboard. A Korean input method joins them into one syllable block. On the standard two-set layout, these three inputs use shifted keys.

Text normalization affects how the letters are stored. NFC keeps the syllable as one precomposed block; NFD stores its component letters separately. A font may still shape the separated letters to look like one block, so appearance alone does not reveal the stored form.
