Hangul syllable Gyat

As of 2026, 걑 has no established standalone word meaning.

It combines three Hangul letters into one syllable block. Jamo are Hangul's consonant and vowel letters: the canonical decomposition is ᄀ (initial consonant) + ᅣ (vowel) + ᇀ (final consonant). A Korean keyboard commonly shows the corresponding forms ㄱ + ㅑ + ㅌ. The romanized label “gyat” writes the syllable's reading in Latin letters; it is not a Korean word translation.

Hangul was created in the 15th century to represent Korean more directly than relying only on Chinese characters and to make reading and writing easier for more people. Hunminjeongeum, the text that introduced the script, means “Correct Sounds for the Instruction of the People.” That is the history of Hangul as a writing system; the modern repertoire of precomposed syllable blocks follows Korean standards such as KS C 5601-1992, which extended earlier standards.

How do I type 걑?

A Korean IME can compose it from its three input jamo.

In a Korean IME, enter ㄱ, then ㅑ, then ㅌ as the final consonant; it composes 걑. If the input method accepts conjoining jamo directly, enter ᄀ + ᅣ + ᇀ.

If the pieces remain separate, the app or input method may not be composing Hangul syllables. A Unicode-aware input method can accept U+AC51 as hexadecimal code-point input.
