Hangul syllable 욌

It is one Hangul spelling block, not a complete message. Its parts are initial ㅇ, vowel ㅚ, and final consonant ㅆ. The block gets its role from the full Korean word around it.

Hangul’s history predates this individual block: the script was designed in 1443, and the 1446 guide Hunminjeongeum explained its purpose and principles. It gave Korean a writing system shaped for its sounds. Earlier systems such as Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol adapted Chinese characters to represent Korean sounds and grammar. Hangul shared written life with Classical Chinese, became official through reforms in 1894, and regained a central role in Korean culture after 1945. These dates belong to the script, not this individual syllable.

How do I type 욌?

Use a Korean input method: ㅇ, ㅚ, then ㅆ. It takes an initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant and assembles them into 욌. Entering the visible jamo as separate characters leaves separate characters; the input method does the composition.

Unicode’s NFC normalization stores the composed block as 욌; NFD can represent the same text as separate jamo. If the parts stay visually apart, the app’s Hangul shaping support and font affect how they display.
