Hangul Syllable Kweobs

It is one syllable; the surrounding Korean word gives it meaning.

It combines ㅋ as the initial consonant, ㅝ as the vowel, and ㅄ as the final consonant cluster. Together they spell one syllable; the parts do not have separate meanings here.

The history belongs to Hangul, not this individual block. The new Korean writing system, called Hunminjeongeum (훈민정음), dates to 1443; an explanatory book appeared in 1446. It was devised to write spoken Korean with letters grouped as initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant. No standalone symbolic or community use of 퀎 is established as of 2026.

How do I type 퀎?

Use a Korean input method and enter the parts in order.

On the standard Dubeolsik two-set keyboard, press Z for ㅋ, then N and J for ㅝ, then Q and T for ㅄ: ZNJQT. If Latin letters appear, switch the input method to Korean; those keys are specific to Dubeolsik.

Unicode treats the prebuilt syllable and its separate letter components as equivalent forms. Some apps show the components separately while the Korean input method is still assembling the block.

Why does 퀎 look or sound different?

Fonts can reshape it; the next syllable changes how ㅄ is read.

Fonts may vary the placement, shape, or size of Hangul letters within the block without changing the character. At a word end, ㅄ is reduced to one final consonant; before a following vowel, ㅅ can begin the next syllable.
