Hangul Syllable Jjwe

Use a Korean input method to enter ㅉ followed by ㅞ.

On the standard two-set Korean keyboard, switch your input method to Korean, press Shift+W for ㅉ, then N and P for ㅜ and ㅔ. The input method combines the vowels as ㅞ and composes 쮀.

If the components stay separate, the input method has not composed the syllable block. Fonts may place or size the components differently within a block, but that visual variation does not change the character.

What does 쮀 mean?

It contributes a syllable sound; Korean words supply the meaning.

It combines ㅉ, a tense initial consonant, and ㅞ, the vowel. These basic Hangul letters are called jamo; Korean words join syllable blocks to form words.

Hangul was created to write Korean more directly than older systems such as Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol, which adapted Chinese characters to represent Korean. Its creation is recorded in 1443; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum, titled Correct Sounds for the Instruction of the People, was published in 1446. By the 1920s, Hangeul had become the established name for the script. The 1996 Unicode entry dates this block's digital encoding, not its origin.
