Hangul Syllable Ggyonh

931/11172

꾢 is a Korean Hangul syllable block, not a word with a fixed meaning by itself. Its Unicode label GGYONH names the consonant-and-vowel jamo used to build it. Unicode text can encode the same Hangul syllable as one precomposed character or as decomposed jamo.

What 꾢 means

꾢 is a Hangul syllable block; the Korean word supplies its meaning.

The Unicode name GGYONH labels its parts: initial ᄁ (consonant ㄲ), vowel ᅭ (ㅛ), and final ᆭ . Jamo are the individual Hangul consonant and vowel letters that combine into a syllable block. The name describes the construction; it does not translate a Korean word.

Hangul addressed a practical problem: Korean had been written with Chinese characters and adapted systems such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal, which used those characters to record Korean. King Sejong created Hangul, first called Hunminjeongeum, in 1443; a book with the same title explained its purpose and design in 1446. Early Hangul books included Buddhist texts; Confucian texts and practical writing followed.

how do I type 꾢?

On a Korean two-set keyboard, enter its three parts in order.

The standard Korean two-set layout has separate consonant and vowel key sets, and the input method joins their sequence into a block. For this syllable, enter ㄲ, then ㅛ, then ㄴ followed by ㅎ.

In Unicode’s NFD form, which decomposes Hangul, 꾢 is ᄁ ᅭ ᆭ; NFC recomposes those same jamo as 꾢. A supporting app and font should display the decomposed sequence as one syllable block. If it appears as separate letters or missing boxes, check the app or font; font design can change the strokes without changing the underlying character.

Why does 꾢 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
