What 죟 means
It marks a syllable; the surrounding word gives it a role.
Within the block, ㅈ is the starting consonant, ㅚ the vowel, and ㅎ the final consonant.
Why does Hangul use syllable blocks?
Hangul groups reusable letters into one block per syllable.
King Sejong created Hangul in 1443. Before then, people in Korea relied on Chinese characters to write Korean, which were a difficult fit for its sounds; the new alphabet was designed to be easier to learn. The alphabet was first called Hunminjeongeum, and the 1446 book of the same name explains its purpose and design.
How do I type 죟?
Enter ㅈ, ㅚ, then ㅎ as the syllable’s three parts.
A Korean input method composes them into one block. Unicode can also represent the same syllable as an equivalent sequence of conjoining jamo, which normalization may expose separately.
Neutral technical text; its role comes from the Korean word that contains it.
