Hangul syllable Jjebs

It is a Hangul syllable block with no established standalone meaning.

In Korean writing, this block takes meaning from the word it belongs to. As of 2026-09-13, no fixed slang or reaction meaning is established for 쩺; sent alone, it may be a stray fragment or a text test.

Why does Hangul use syllable blocks?

Hangul groups its letters into blocks to write Korean syllables. Its design aimed to represent Korean speech more directly and make reading accessible beyond the Chinese-character system then used for Korean. Hangul's recorded beginning spans 1443–1446: a 1443 record is followed by Hunminjeongeum, the 1446 book explaining the new script.

Hanja is the Chinese-character tradition used in Korean writing. A possible influence from ʼPhags-pa, a script used under Mongol rule, has been proposed but remains disputed.

Hangul also had the names jeongeum, eonmun, banjeol, gukmun, and gukseo before “Hangeul” became its common name in the early 20th century. The date shown for digital encoding is not Hangul's origin date.

How do I type 쩺 with a Korean keyboard?

Type the jamo in order; a Korean input method forms the block.

On a Korean keyboard, type ㅉ, ㅔ, ㅂ, and ㅅ in order; the Korean input method assembles them into 쩺. Hangul jamo are the consonant and vowel letters that form syllable blocks. Unicode's NFD, the decomposed normalization form, stores the syllable as conjoining jamo; NFC, the composed form, stores the prebuilt block.

If the character looks different in your font, the components may be placed differently. Fonts can change their proportions or spacing without changing which syllable the text represents.
