What 졩 means
졩 is one Hangul syllable, assembled from three letters. Hangul groups consonant and vowel letters, called jamo, into syllable blocks. 졩 combines ㅈ at the start, ㅖ as the vowel, and ㅇ at the end.
In a mixed-script 1446 text about Hunminjeongeum, the document that introduced Hangul, 졩 follows the Chinese character 制 as a Korean sound gloss. It supplies a Korean reading of that character, not a translation.
Through September 2026, no popular standalone meaning is established for 졩.
How do you type 졩?
Use Korean input and enter ㅈ ㅖ ㅇ. On the Dubeolsik two-set keyboard layout, press W, ShiftP, then D. The input method composes those jamo into 졩; with English input active, the same keys produce Latin letters instead.
Unicode treats the precomposed block and its conjoining-jamo sequence as canonically equivalent text. Hangul-aware shaping displays that sequence as one block when supported; normalize text before exact string comparisons.
Historical and technical; a Korean text uses 졩 as a reading gloss.

1Questions people ask
1Why does 졩 show as separate jamo?
It can. Unicode can canonically decompose 졩 into a sequence of conjoining Hangul jamo. A Hangul-aware renderer shapes that sequence into one block; without that shaping, the jamo can appear separately.
