Hangul syllable jjanh

As of 2026-09-08, 짢 has no established standalone Korean word meaning.

A reader seeing it alone should treat it as an isolated spelling unit or input clue, not assume it carries a familiar message. Inside a Korean word, the surrounding syllables supply context.

How is 짢 composed?

It is one modern Hangul block with an initial, a vowel, and a final.

A Hangul block puts a starting consonant, a vowel, and sometimes an ending consonant together as one written syllable. 짢 uses ㅉ as its initial, ㅏ as its vowel, and ㄶ as its final consonant cluster. These are spelling parts, not a dictionary definition.

Hangul's creation and its explanatory book are dated 1443 and 1446, respectively. The script let Korean be written directly; older practices such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal used Chinese characters to record Korean. Those practices are part of Hangul's historical setting, not documented ancestors of this particular block.

How do you type 짢?

On a Korean two-set keyboard, press Shift+W, K, S, G.

On the standard Korean 두벌식 layout, Shift+W inputs ㅉ, K inputs ㅏ, and S then G inputs ㄴ + ㅎ; the Korean IME (input method) combines the last two as ㄶ. If the parts stay separate, check that Korean input mode is active.

Unicode also represents the syllable as the decomposed sequence 짢, using separate Jamo (Hangul letters). If an app displays those parts separately, its shaping support has not joined them; the precomposed 짢 avoids relying on that shaping.
