What 흺 means
It is a syllable block, not a word-level gloss. The technical Unicode label “hyilp” is built from its parts: ㅎ starts the syllable, ㅢ is its vowel, and ㄿ is its final consonant cluster.
Hangul began in Joseon, a Korean kingdom, as a way to write Korean speech directly. Earlier Korean writing also used Chinese characters, known in Korean as hanja; Hangul letters were designed to combine into square syllable blocks. The first record of Hunminjeongeum, the name of the new script, dates to 1443; an explanatory manual followed in 1446. Hangul later became the main script used to write Korean.
How do I type 흺?
Enter its three jamo in order with a Korean input method. Type ㅎ, then ㅢ, then final cluster ㄿ; the input method may show intermediate blocks before it commits this uncommon syllable. If it will not compose the final cluster, use a Unicode-aware character picker.
Unicode can store this syllable precomposed as 흺 in NFC or as 흺 in decomposed NFD; both forms are canonically equivalent. Korean fonts may draw the parts with different proportions inside the block.
