Hangul syllable 쾏

Read it as one written syllable. 쾏 spells a syllable in Hangul. Its parts are jamo—Hangul consonant and vowel letters: initial ㅋ, vowel ㅙ, and final consonant cluster ㄳ, called batchim. In a word, surrounding syllables supply the meaning; alone, it is best read as a written syllable sample.

how do I type 쾏?

Enter the jamo in sequence on a Korean IME.

On a Dubeolsik QWERTY keyboard, type z h o r t: ㅋ, ㅗ, ㅐ, ㄱ, then ㅅ. The IME combines ㅗ + ㅐ into ㅙ and the last two consonants into final ㄳ. If it forms 쾌, 쾍, or 쾎, the final input differs.

Hangul’s history belongs to the script, not this block

Hangul milestones: 1443 for the design and 1446 for the publication of Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining the new letters. The writing system let people record Korean directly instead of relying on classical Chinese characters.

Early Hangul books included translated scriptures, practical guides, teaching materials, and literature; later, Hangul became a general public writing system. 쾏 belongs to that same system of syllables assembled from smaller parts: those historical changes concern the script’s reach, not a special history for this block.
