Hangul syllable pess

10157/11172

펬 is a Korean written syllable: ㅍ begins it, ㅔ is its vowel, and ㅆ ends it. Alone, it is not a complete Korean word; the word and sentence around it supply meaning. Its block form comes from Hangeul’s system of assembling letters into syllables.

Text symbol

What 펬 means

It is one written syllable, built by placing consonants around a vowel.

In 펬, ㅍ is the opening consonant, ㅔ the vowel, and ㅆ the final consonant; all three belong to the same syllable. These component letters are called jamo, the letters used to build Korean syllables.

Hangeul’s creation is recorded in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining the script and its letters, followed in 1446. The system was designed to let ordinary people write Korean speech in a learnable script rather than rely on Chinese characters. In South Korea the script is usually called 한글; in North Korea it is called 조선글.
