Hangul syllable Hyod

횯 is one Korean syllable, so context gives it meaning.

In Korean text, it contributes one syllable to a word, name, or transcription. Sent alone, it offers too little context to tell what word it belongs to.

The block uses three Hangul letters (jamo): ㅎ begins it, ㅛ is the vowel, and ㄷ closes it. Hangul was created to write Korean speech in an alphabetic system easier to learn than the Chinese-character-based writing then used for Korean. The earliest surviving official record of its creation is dated 1443; the explanatory book was completed in 1446. These dates concern Hangul, not the first recorded use of 횯.
