Hangul syllable 쭹

Alone, it gives a syllable; Korean context supplies the word. 쭹 is a Hangul syllable block made from smaller consonant and vowel letters called jamo. Read the surrounding Korean word or phrase to know its meaning.

This block belongs to Hangul's regular syllable system. A 1443 record announces Hangul; the 1446 Hunminjeongeum explains how consonant and vowel letters combine into syllables. The system offered Korean speakers a more direct way to write their language alongside Chinese-character writing.

Which Hangul jamo form 쭹?

Initial ㅉ, vowel ㅝ and final ㅇ form the block. These jamo are arranged in a square syllable cell, so the finished Hangul character reads as one syllabic unit.

Earlier names for the writing system included 정음 and 국문; the name Hangul became widely used in the 1920s. These are names for the script, not meanings of 쭹.

쭹 can look different in different fonts because typefaces vary the jamo's placement, weight, and silhouette inside the square cell. The character stays the same. If its components appear separately, the text may be a decomposed jamo sequence rather than the single precomposed syllable block.
