Hangul syllable Jwels

7489/11172

As of September 2026, 쥀 has no established everyday meaning on its own; inside a Korean word, it is one Hangul syllable. Its jamo—Hangul's consonant and vowel letters—are ㅈ ㅞ ㄽ, which a Korean input method joins into one block.

Text symbol

What 쥀 means

It is a Korean syllable block built from component letters.

Hangul is the Korean writing system; it joins jamo—consonant and vowel letters—into syllables. The Korean word around 쥀 supplies its reading. If someone sends it alone, check whether it belongs to a longer word or came from a technical or input context.

Hangul was announced in 1443, and 훈민정음, an explanatory book for the new writing system, was published in 1446. The system was designed to record Korean speech by grouping consonant and vowel letters into syllable blocks. Korea also used Chinese characters, called Hanja in Korean; that is a separate writing tradition, and no Hanja character forms part of 쥀. Modern Korean spelling rules trace to a unified draft from 1933, partly revised in 1988.

How do I type 쥀?

Enter ㅈ ㅞ ㄽ in a Korean input method.

The input method assembles those jamo into 쥀. If needed, make ㅞ from ㅜ ㅔ and ㄽ from ㄹ ㅅ.

Unicode normalization has two equivalent forms for 쥀: NFC (composed form) keeps it as one syllable; NFD (decomposed form) represents it with the conjoining jamo 쥀. Text search or comparison may treat the forms differently until they are normalized.

Neutral Hangul within a Korean word; the surrounding text supplies its context.

Before interpreting it, check whether it was meant to be part of a longer Korean word.

Why does 쥀 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
