Hangul syllable 퀽

It is one Korean syllable; the word around it supplies the meaning. Korean letters, called Hangul jamo, combine into square syllable blocks. 퀽 has ᄏ at the start, ᅱ as its vowel, and ᆰ at the end.

Hangul was created under King Sejong in Joseon to give ordinary people an easier way to write Korean, which had often been recorded with Chinese characters. Its earliest official record is from 1443; the book Hunminjeongeum, published in 1446, explains the letters' sounds and how they form syllables. 퀽 follows that initial-vowel-final pattern.

If 퀽 arrives alone, look for nearby Korean text or ask for context; this syllable by itself gives no reliable social reading.

How do I type 퀽?

Use a Korean IME (input method editor); on the 2-set layout, type znlfr. With the Korean 2-set layout active on a QWERTY keyboard, the keys enter ㅋ, ㅜ, ㅣ, ㄹ, and ㄱ; the IME combines them into 퀽. Typing the Unicode label kwilg as Latin letters does not.

The syllable can be stored as one precomposed block or as an equivalent sequence of three conjoining jamo (Korean letters). Text normalization can switch between the two without changing the syllable. Fonts also vary the parts' size and placement, so the block may look different while remaining the same character.
