Hangul syllable 뭝

It has no established standalone Korean meaning as of 2026.

Its Korean letters, called jamo, are ㅁ, the vowel ㅝ and the final consonant cluster ㄾ, itself made from ㄹ+ㅌ. Korean groups these letters into a single syllable block.

Hangul was created in 1443 and promulgated in 1446 to make Korean easier to write than with Chinese characters. Earlier systems—idu, hyangchal and gugyeol—adapted Chinese characters for Korean prose, poetry and guidance on reading Chinese texts. Korean scholar Ju Si-gyeong coined the name Hangul in 1910 with Korean national identity in mind; after liberation in 1945, Hangul became widely accepted as the national script. As of 2026, South Korean usage generally calls it Hangul, while North Korean usage favors Chosŏn'gŭl. Those earlier systems are part of Korea's writing history, not visual ancestors of 뭝.

How do I type 뭝?

As of 2026, use A-N-J-F-X on the Dubeolsik layout.

On the standard Korean two-set (Dubeolsik) layout as of 2026, A types ㅁ, N types ㅜ, J types ㅓ, F types ㄹ and X types ㅌ. The Korean IME combines ㅜ+ㅓ into ㅝ and ㄹ+ㅌ into the final cluster ㄾ, composing 뭝.

On another layout, enter ㅁㅜㅓㄹㅌ in an IME that composes Hangul. The installed Hangul font draws the character, so its strokes can look slightly different across devices.
