What 즢 means
It gives one syllable sound; context supplies a word’s meaning.
The block combines an opening consonant, ㅈ, a vowel, ㅡ, and a final consonant, ㅍ. These three Hangul letters form one written syllable; a Korean word’s meaning comes from its surrounding syllables.
The Sejong Sillok, King Sejong’s court annals, record Hangul’s creation in 1443. Hunminjeongeum, an explanatory text published in 1446, describes the script’s design and purpose. Those dates belong to Hangul as a writing system, not to this individual block.
Why does 즢 look different in different fonts?
The strokes may change, but the character stays the same.
Unicode normalization, a text-standardizing operation, can decompose this precomposed block into its three jamo (Hangul consonant and vowel letters). Text software may show the parts separately, while software that arranges Hangul letters can display them as a block; fonts also vary in proportions and stroke style.
As of 2026, one specialist table matching Hanja (Chinese characters used in Korean) with Japanese readings lists 十 (ten) with the Japanese reading ジュウ and the Hangul sequence 즢ㅡ. This is notation used in that table, not everyday Korean spelling.
