Hangul syllable Kweolb

It is a Korean syllable, not a complete word or reaction.

Hangul syllable blocks combine an opening consonant, a vowel, and sometimes a closing consonant cluster. In a Korean input method, 퀇 is entered as ㅋ + ㅝ + ㄼ. These component letters, called jamo, spell one syllable; they do not form a complete Korean word by themselves.

No standalone word or reaction meaning is established for 퀇. As of 2026-09-13, someone who receives this block alone needs the surrounding Korean word or sentence to know what was meant. Hangul was developed in 1443 and explained in the Hunminjeongeum, a manuscript published in 1446 to introduce the script. It was designed to make Korean writing accessible to more people by representing its sounds with letters; the same block structure is visible in 퀇.

How do I type 퀇?

A Korean keyboard or Unicode hex entry will produce it.

With a Korean IME (input method), switch to Korean and type ㅋ + ㅝ + ㄼ; it normally assembles those jamo into a syllable block. Microsoft Word also accepts hexadecimal input: type D007, then press Alt+X. This Word method was documented as of 2026-09-13.

An editor may instead show the Unicode decomposition ᄏ + ᅯ + ᆲ. These joining forms represent the same opening consonant, vowel, and closing cluster as 퀇; Unicode treats the separate sequence as canonically equivalent to the precomposed block. Text normalization and Hangul font shaping determine whether the letters appear joined.
