Hangul Syllable Jjwass

7917/11172

쫬 is Korean text: one Hangul syllable, not a complete word. It appears in past-tense forms of 쪼다, “to peck,” including 쫬다 and the polite 쫬어요; alone, it leaves the word incomplete.

Text symbol

What 쫬 means

It is a Korean syllable used in a verb form. The verb 쪼다 means “to peck.” Its past forms include 쫬다 and polite 쫬어요, where the ending carries the past tense and, in the latter, polite speech. A lone 쫬 is only one syllable, not a complete statement.

How did 쫬 take this form?

Hangul builds syllable blocks from consonant and vowel letters. 쫬 has an opening consonant, ᄍ, a vowel, ᅪ, and a final consonant, ᆻ.

Hangul was developed in 1443; the Hunminjeongeum, the manuscript that introduced the alphabet, was published in 1446. Separately, the verb 쪼다 has a Middle Korean ancestor, 좃다, recorded in 1489.

How do I type 쫬?

Use a Korean composing input method and enter the letters in order. On the common Korean 2-set QWERTY layout, press ShiftW for ㅉ, then H and K for ㅘ, then ShiftT for ㅆ. The input method joins them into one block; other layouts may use different keys.

Fonts may vary the placement, shape, or size of the letters inside the block. That changes its appearance, not the character.

Neutral Korean writing; the verb ending and sentence set its tense and politeness.

A lone 쫬 cannot establish whether the complete word is a put-down.

Questions people ask

2

Is 쫬 an insult?

No, not by itself. 쫬 is one syllable. 쪼다 also has a slang noun sense meaning “fool,” but the forms here are past forms of the verb meaning “to peck.”

Why does my keyboard show separate Hangul letters?

Your keyboard may be in a direct-input mode. A Korean input method combines consonant and vowel letters into Hangul syllable blocks; without composition, the letters stay separate.
