Hangul syllable jyeod

It is one Korean syllable, not a definition by itself. The initial consonant ㅈ, vowel ㅕ, and final consonant ㄷ combine in one Hangul block. Hangul’s individual letters are called jamo; read 젿 inside the surrounding Korean word or sentence to know its role.

Before Hangul, Korean writing used Chinese characters. Systems such as Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol adapted them to record Korean sounds, meanings, or reading notes. King Sejong and scholars developed Hangul in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a text explaining the new script, introduced it in 1446 as a more direct way to write Korean speech and a system easier to learn.

How do I type 젿?

In a Korean IME, enter ㅈ, then ㅕ, then ㄷ.

On the two-set Dubeolsik Korean keyboard, press W, U, E in that order. This sequence works while Korean input is active; in Latin input mode, those keys type Roman letters.
