Hangul Syllable Jyip

Enter ㅈ, ㅢ, then ㅍ in a Korean IME.

A Korean input method combines the component letters, called jamo, into one block. Enter ㅈ, ㅢ, and ㅍ in that order; they supply the starting consonant, vowel, and closing consonant.

Hangul was designed for writing Korean with syllable blocks built from an initial consonant, a vowel, and sometimes a final consonant. The writing system’s earliest documented record dates to 1443; its explanatory book, Hunminjeongeum, was published in 1446.

What does 즾 mean in Korean?

It supplies a syllable; the Korean word around it supplies meaning.

The block combines initial consonant ㅈ, vowel ㅢ, and final consonant ㅍ. Together they make one Korean syllable; the surrounding word and sentence provide its meaning.

For text processing, the same syllable can be written as the jamo sequence 즾. Pre-1933 Korean orthography may also write syllables as jamo sequences instead of single blocks. Fonts can arrange a block’s components differently; spacing alone does not make it a different character.
