Hangul syllable Mwaec

It is one Hangul syllable in Korean spelling. The block brings an initial consonant, a vowel and a final consonant into one written unit. Its place in a Korean word gives it a role; on its own, it is not a complete message.

Hangul was developed under King Sejong in 1443 and explained in a published book in 1446. It was intended to make Korean easier to write and learn. Later uses included Buddhist scriptures and Confucian translations, and Hangul became part of wider literary and political life.

Scholars compare Hangul's organized way of classifying speech sounds with the separate 'Phags-pa writing system. This is a comparison of writing-system design; it does not show that 뫷 itself was copied from an older sign.

How do I type 뫷?

Enter its jamo in order on a standard two-set Korean keyboard. Jamo are the Korean letters that combine into a syllable block: enter ㅁ, then ㅗ + ㅐ to form ㅙ, then ㅊ. The input method composes the block as you type; the matching QWERTY keys are A H O C.

While the block is composing, its final consonant can move to the next syllable if you type a vowel after it. Space or punctuation commits the block when the input method is waiting for confirmation.
