Hangul Syllable Jyalb

As of 2026-09-13, 쟓 had no established Korean word meaning by itself.

Its three parts are ㅈ (opening consonant), ㅑ (vowel), and ㄼ (final consonant cluster). They show how the written syllable is built; they do not define a separate word.

Hangul's first documented dates are 1443 and 1446: King Sejong's court created and explained the script to make Korean easier to read and write. Early printed works carried Buddhist and Confucian texts; after the late 16th century, print also spread practical knowledge, laws, and institutional writing. Earlier Korean writing used systems based on Chinese characters, including Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal. The square Phags-pa script reached Korea in the 13th century and has been proposed as one influence on Hangul's design; that possibility concerns the script, not this syllable's origin.

How do I type 쟓?

In a Korean input method, press W-I-F-Q on standard Dubeolsik.

Those keys enter ㅈ, ㅑ, ㄹ, and ㅂ in order. A Korean IME (input method editor) combines them into 쟓, joining final ㄹ and ㅂ as the cluster ㄼ. If you type a vowel next, the IME may move one final consonant into the next syllable.

Hangul fonts arrange an opening consonant, vowel, and final cluster inside a square syllable cell, so spacing and stroke shapes vary by typeface. If the parts remain separated during input, check that a Korean IME is active.
