Hangul syllable Jyalg

Read 쟑 as one syllable within a Korean word.

It is built from jamo—the Hangul letters that combine into syllable blocks: ㅈ at the start, ㅑ as the vowel, and ㄺ at the end. The final ㄺ is a two-consonant cluster, so the block gives sound parts, not a word translation.

Hangul was announced around 1443 and published in 1446 with an explanatory guide. It gave Korean speakers a writing system suited to their language alongside Hanja, Chinese characters used in Korean writing. Hanja retained official status into the late 19th century; Hangul later became the primary writing system in both North and South Korea.

How do I type 쟑?

Enter its Hangul components on a Korean IME.

On the standard Korean Dubeolsik two-set keyboard, press W-I-F-R: W enters ㅈ, I enters ㅑ, and F then R forms final ㄺ. The Korean IME joins them as 쟑.

If the letters remain separate on screen, the input method may be exposing raw jamo or using another layout. Software can also store the syllable as one precomposed character or as an equivalent sequence of jamo.
