What 컛 means
It is one written Korean syllable; context supplies the word. 컛 is built from ㅋ ㅒ ㅅ. These Korean letters, called jamo, join to form a syllable block.
Hangul, the Korean writing system, was created in 1443. Hunminjeongeum (훈민정음), a book explaining the new script's design and purpose, was published in 1446.
What if someone sends 컛 alone?
Ask for the surrounding Korean text before assigning a tone. 컛 may be a fragment of a longer word; this single syllable does not tell you what the sender meant by itself.
How do I type 컛?
Use a Korean input method and enter ㅋ ㅒ ㅅ. It composes those letters into 컛. On the two-set Korean layout for a QWERTY keyboard, the inputs are z, Shifto, t.
Unicode also represents 컛 as the decomposed jamo sequence ㅋ ㅒ ㅅ. Software may show those letters separately; this is a display or normalization difference, not a different syllable. As of 2026-09-13, support for joined jamo was broader in modern browsers than across apps overall.
A neutral written syllable; its tone comes from the surrounding Korean text.
Alone, 컛 can look like a stray fragment.

1Why can 컛 appear as separate jamo?
That is a decomposition or display difference, not a different syllable. Unicode treats 컛 and the related Korean letter sequence ㅋ ㅒ ㅅ as representations of the same syllable; software varies in what it shows.
