hangul syllable nwab

Hangul syllable Nwab

1446/11172

놥 is a Hangul syllable in Korean writing, not an established word by itself; its meaning depends on the word around it. Hangul packs an opening consonant, a vowel, and a closing consonant into one block.

Text symbol

What 놥 means

It represents one Korean syllable, not a complete word.

놥 is a Hangul block; Hangul is the alphabet used to write Korean. It joins the opening consonant ㄴ, vowel ㅘ, and closing consonant ㅂ in one block. As of 2026, 놥 is not an established standalone Korean word; a larger word supplies its meaning. Hangul was devised under King Sejong in 1443 and explained in 1446 in Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the new letters. It offered a way to write Korean speech directly, where Chinese characters did not map neatly to it.

Why does 놥 look different in different fonts?

Different renderings can still represent the same syllable.

놥 has the canonical decomposed form 놥: three jamo, or individual Hangul letter components, for its initial ㄴ, vowel ㅘ, and final ㅂ. Fonts can position the components differently inside a syllable block, and a text system with limited shaping may display them separately. The rendering changes, not the syllable.

Neutral as Korean writing; alone, it reads as a syllable without enough context to identify its word.

Why does 놥 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
