Hangul syllable Pulg

Use a Korean 2-set keyboard: type v, n, f, r. The standard layout has separate keys for consonants and vowels. A Korean input method editor (IME)—software that turns keystrokes into Hangul—maps them to ㅍ, ㅜ, ㄹ and ㄱ, then combines the last two as final ㄺ. If it commits after ㄹ, use an input method that accepts compound final consonants.

The component letters are called jamo. The canonical decomposed sequence is 풁; Unicode normalization can combine it into 풁, but separately inserted jamo may remain separate when an app or font lacks Hangul shaping.

What is 풁 made from?

풁 is one Hangul syllable block made from three parts. They are initial ᄑ, vowel ᅮ and final cluster ᆰ. Unicode’s label PULG combines their component names; it describes the construction, not a Korean word or translation.

Hangul was developed in 1443 and introduced in 훈민정음, a guide to the new alphabet published in 1446. The system gave Korean speech a purpose-built alphabet instead of relying only on Chinese characters; its letters join into syllable blocks. Those dates describe Hangul’s history, not the first use of this exact combination.
