Hangul syllable Jweolb

It identifies a syllable structure, not a message by itself.

The label jweolb maps to initial ㅈ, vowel ㅝ, and final cluster ㄹㅂ. That breakdown shows how the block is formed; it does not translate it. In Korean text, the word around it determines its role. If someone sends only 줣, ask what word or input they intended rather than treating the glyph as a reaction.

A line break cannot split a Hangul syllable block. Fonts can change the shape, size, or placement of its component glyphs without changing which character it is.

Why does 줣 exist?

It follows Hangul’s regular initial–vowel–final pattern.

Hangul was created so Korean speakers could write their language more directly than with Hanja-based systems such as Idu, an earlier way of writing Korean with Chinese characters. The first record of Hunminjeongeum, the work introducing the script, dates to 1443; an explanatory book followed in 1446.

Hunminjeongeum was an early name for the script. The name Hangeul began appearing in the early 1910s and spread widely by 1928. As of 2026, South Korea generally calls it Hangeul, while North Korea favors Chosŏn'gŭl.

How do I type 줣?

Use a Korean IME to combine its jamo in order.

Enter ㅈ, combine ㅜ + ㅓ as ㅝ, then add final ㄹ + ㅂ. If the IME leaves ㄹ and ㅂ separate, it has not formed the final cluster. For direct Unicode input, 줣 is the decomposed sequence; NFC normalization can compose it as 줣.
