Hangul syllable jjweot

Use a Korean 2-set keyboard: Shift+W, N, J, X.

On Dubeolsik, Shift+W selects ㅉ, N then J builds ㅝ, and X adds final ㅌ. The Korean input method assembles these jamo into 쭽 as you type.

For exact matching, normalize to NFC, Unicode's composed text form. Software may store the same visible syllable as one precomposed block or as its canonically equivalent jamo sequence.

What does 쭽 mean?

쭽 is one Korean syllable, not a complete translation.

A Hangul syllable block is one unit of Korean spelling made from consonant and vowel letters. Here, 쭽 contributes a syllable within a word; the Korean word or phrase supplies the translation.

Hangul's earliest official record is dated 1443; the 1446 Hunminjeongeum, an explanation of the script, set out its design. It was created to write Korean more directly and give people who had relied on Chinese characters an accessible alternative. Early descriptions focus on representing sounds; modern Korean spelling also preserves word parts when pronunciation changes. A 2009 Korean linguistics study argues that the older Phags-pa script influenced Hangul's design, but scholars debate that connection.

What are the parts of 쭽?

Its jamo are ㅉ, ㅝ, and ㅌ.

Jamo are the letters used to build Hangul syllable blocks: ㅉ is the initial consonant, ㅝ the vowel, and ㅌ the final consonant. The Unicode label “jjweot” names those components; it is not a Korean word or a translation.
