Hangul syllable Gyonh

굖 is a Hangul syllable block built from three letters. Its parts are the starting consonant ㄱ, vowel ㅛ, and final consonant pair ㄶ (ㄴ+ㅎ). Unicode’s generated name “HANGUL SYLLABLE GYONH” spells out those components; it is not a Korean word definition.

Hangul was devised under King Sejong in 1443 to make Korean writing easier to learn. Before it, Korean was written with Chinese characters and adapted methods such as Idu, gugyeol, and hyangchal. Hunminjeongeum was the alphabet’s original name and the title of a 1446 book explaining its purpose and principles.

How do I type 굖?

On a Korean 2-set keyboard, enter r-y-s-g in order. The keys enter ㄱ, ㅛ, ㄴ, and ㅎ; the input method joins the last two into final ㄶ.

Why does 굖 look or store differently?

Fonts draw the block; Unicode can also store its parts separately. Fonts arrange Hangul components in different proportions, and a fallback font may use another design or lack the character. That changes how 굖 looks, not its identity.

The canonical decomposition of 굖 is 굖, three Hangul jamo—letters that join into syllable blocks. Unicode normalization can compose that sequence into 굖 or decompose it again, so text-processing software should normalize before comparing strings.
