Why does Hangul use syllable blocks?

One block groups the parts of one syllable.

Hangul letters, called jamo, combine into syllable blocks. In 뭾, the initial consonant is ᄆ, the vowel is ᅰ, and the final consonant cluster is ᆹ.

King Sejong created Hangul in 1443 to make Korean easier to write and learn. Before then, Korean writers used Chinese characters and adaptations such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal to record Korean. A book also titled Hunminjeongeum, explaining the script’s purpose and principles, was published in 1446.
