Hangul syllable Kyenj

Read 켽 as one syllable within a Korean word. Hangul letters, called jamo, are arranged into square syllable blocks. In 켽, ㅋ is the opening consonant, ㅖ the vowel, and ㄵ the final consonant cluster. A Korean word containing it supplies the meaning. As of 2026, this exact block has no established standalone word or message meaning.

Hunminjeongeum, the guide to the Korean alphabet issued in 1446, set out the letters and how initials, vowels, and finals combine. The system was designed to make Korean easier and more efficient to write than using Chinese characters.

How do you type 켽?

Use a Korean input method and enter the parts in order. On the standard two-set Korean keyboard, which separates consonant and vowel keys, enter the keys for ㅋ, ㅖ, ㄴ, then ㅈ; the input method joins ㄴ+ㅈ into the final cluster ㄵ and forms 켽. Key positions vary by layout.

Unicode can also represent it as three conjoining letters, ᄏ + ᅨ + ᆬ. NFC, a Unicode text-normalization form, combines this sequence into 켽; NFD splits the syllable back into its parts.

Why does 켽 look different in fonts?

The font redraws the block; the character stays the same. Hangul typefaces fit consonants and vowels inside a square syllable space. A font can change the size or spacing of ㅋ, ㅖ, and ㄵ, while the character remains 켽.
