Hangul syllable Oegs

Treat 왻 as a spelling unit, not a vocabulary item.

The earliest record of Hunminjeongeum dates to 1443; an explanatory book with that title appeared in 1446. The script gave Korean speech a writing system of its own, distinct from Chinese writing. Its square syllable blocks may resemble Chinese characters, but Hangul jamo belong to a separate script and were not derived from them.

The name Hangeul appears in records in the early 1910s and spread after 1928. South Korea more often calls the script Hangul; North Korea prefers Choseongul. 왻 follows Hangul’s initial-vowel-final layout, combining ㅇ, ㅚ, and final ㄳ.

How do you type 왻?

On a Korean input method, enter the component jamo in order.

With a Korean IME active, type ㅇ, ㅗ, ㅣ, ㄱ, ㅅ in that order. It combines ㅗ+ㅣ as ㅚ and ㄱ+ㅅ as ㄳ, then displays 왻 as one block. On the standard 2-set Dubeolsik layout, those inputs are D-H-L-R-T.

In Korean spelling, a final consonant cluster is called batchim. Its spoken value can simplify at a pause or split across a following vowel, so these written jamo do not guarantee one pronunciation for this syllable.
