Hangul Syllable 큛

On a Korean 2-set keyboard, type zbfq. The keys enter ㅋ + ㅠ + ㄹ + ㅂ; the input method joins the last two as compound final ㄼ and forms one syllable block. This 2-set layout is called Dubeolsik.

If the pieces appear separately, the input method may be inserting compatibility jamo, the standalone forms of Korean letters, instead of composing the syllable. Unicode also allows the same syllable as a sequence of conjoining jamo; Hangul-capable text systems can shape that sequence as a block. These are distinct representations, so fonts and text handling can change what you see.

What does 큛 mean?

By itself, 큛 has no established standalone word or chat meaning. As of 2026, this exact block has no established standalone word or chat meaning. If someone sends it alone, the message is unexplained; ask what Korean word it belongs to.

Hangul was created during King Sejong's reign to make Korean easier to write than with Chinese characters, which had been used to write the language. The explanatory book Hunminjeongeum, describing the new writing system, was published in 1446 after its first mention in 1443. This is the history of Hangul as a system, not a separate origin for 큛; the block is assembled from its letters.

큛 begins with consonant ㅋ and vowel ㅠ, then ends in compound final ㄼ (ㄹ + ㅂ). At a word end or before a consonant, ㄼ is normally pronounced like ㄹ; in the Korean verb 밟다, ㅂ is heard instead. So the exact sound depends on the word around the block.
