Hangul Syllable Hoelt

It forms a syllable, not an established word by itself.

횙 combines jamo, Hangul’s syllable-building letters: ㅎ (initial consonant), ㅚ (vowel) and ᆴ (final cluster). Why does 횙 look different in my font? Fonts can vary their size and layout without changing the character.

Before Hangul, Idu, Gugyeol and Hyangchal adapted Chinese characters to write Korean. King Sejong devised Hangul in 1443; the book Hunminjeongeum explained it in 1446. Hangul became Korea’s official script in 1894, lost that status under Japanese rule in 1910, and was standardized after liberation in 1945.
