Hangul syllable 퐅

On a Korean 2-set keyboard, enter v, h, x.

Switch your input method to Korean and enter v, h, x in initial–vowel–final order. On the standard 2-set layout, v produces ㅍ, h produces ㅗ, and x produces ㅌ; the input method joins them into 퐅. With English input on, those keys produce Latin letters.

In software that supports Unicode hex input, D405 enters this precomposed character; the command varies by app.

If software or a font displays the syllable’s separate component letters instead of the compact block, it is showing a decomposed Unicode representation, not a different reading.

What does 퐅 mean?

퐅 is one written Korean syllable; its word-level meaning comes from context.

Hangul, the Korean writing system, builds a block from initial ㅍ, vowel ㅗ, and final ㅌ. The final consonant, called batchim, closes the syllable with a t-like sound; the word around it determines how it is realized.

Hangul’s history is older than this individual block. The script’s earliest record dates to 1443, and the 1446 Hunminjeongeum, a guide explaining its design, described how it works. Hangul was created to write Korean more directly than older methods that used Chinese characters to represent Korean, including Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol. During Joseon, a Korean dynasty, it spread through literature and private letters. It received official-document status in 1894, while mixed Hanja–Hangul writing continued through the transition.
