Hangul Syllable Gih

It is one Hangul syllable, not necessarily a whole word. 깋 is made from the initial consonant ㄱ, the vowel ㅣ, and the final consonant ㅎ. It can appear inside a Korean word or name, where the surrounding text supplies the meaning; a single syllable can also appear in a spelling or teaching example.

Hangul was devised in the 15th century in Korea to make Korean speech easier to write. The script is called 한글 in South Korea and 조선글 in North Korea; 정음 is another name. The modern precomposed Hangul syllable inventory follows the full collection in Korea's KS C 5601-1992 standard (1992).

How do I type 깋 on a Korean keyboard?

Type r, l, then g on a 2-set Korean keyboard. The Dubeolsik layout maps those lowercase keys to the initial consonant ㄱ, vowel ㅣ, and final consonant ㅎ. A Korean IME assembles the keystrokes into one syllable block; with Hangul composition off, the parts can stay separate.

The precomposed Hangul form stores the syllable as one character; another Unicode sequence uses three conjoining Jamo, 깋. Some pre-1933 Korean spelling and language references display Jamo separately, as can software without Hangul shaping. If your device supports Unicode hex input, AE4B inserts the precomposed block.
