Hangul syllable jubs

Use Dubeolsik, the Korean 2-set keyboard layout. With it active, press W, N, Q, then T. Those keys enter the Hangul letters (jamo) ㅈ, ㅜ, ㅂ, and ㅅ; the input method combines the last pair into final ㅄ. This compound batchim (받침), also called 겹받침, is two consonants in the syllable's final position.

Without a Korean layout, enter 줎 as three conjoining Hangul letters, then apply NFC normalization—the Unicode process that combines them into one syllable block—if your editor supports it.

What is this Hangul block?

It is a Korean syllable block used to spell Korean words. Its parts are an initial ㅈ, a vowel ㅜ, and a final ㅄ. Unicode’s romanized label jubs follows the component letters; it is not a Korean pronunciation or a separate word.

Hangul was developed in the 15th century as a sound-based way to write Korean, in a period when written Korean relied heavily on Hanja—Chinese characters used in Korean writing—which were difficult to master. Hangul arranges its letters into square syllable blocks.

Hangul later became the standard script for Korean; 줎 itself remains a spelling unit, not a symbol with a separate meaning. Korea’s KS C 5601-1992 standard lists the modern full Hangul syllable inventory; 1992 is the standard’s date, not this block’s origin.

Why does 줎 look different on my screen?

Fonts set the shape of the syllable block. Hangul typefaces arrange the letters inside a square cell, so their proportions and placement can differ while the text remains the same character.

A box or replacement mark means the current font or its fallback lacks a usable Hangul glyph. That is a display problem; check the underlying text if a screenshot is unclear.
