Hangul syllable Hyet

Use a Korean IME: enter ㅎ, ㅖ, then ㅌ.

A Korean input method combines the starting consonant ㅎ, vowel ㅖ and ending consonant ㅌ into one syllable block. If they remain separate, switch to Hangul input and enter them in that order.

What does 혵 mean?

혵 is one Korean syllable block made from three parts.

The Unicode name Hyet describes its starting consonant, vowel and ending consonant; it is a structural name, not a translation. As of 2026, no independent meaning is established for 혵 alone; read it as part of the surrounding Korean word.

As of 2026, the displayed glyph comes from a font. A font without Korean coverage may show a missing-glyph box, and different fonts can shape the block differently.

Where does 혵 fit in Hangul’s history?

It is one block in a writing system designed for Korean.

Hangul was created in Joseon Korea to let people write Korean speech more directly than by using Chinese characters. The writing system was recorded in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, the text that introduced it, was promulgated in 1446.

Hangul began as a new script and became the basis of Korean writing. 혵 follows its regular pattern: an initial consonant, a vowel and a final consonant.
