Hangul syllable pup

풒 is a Korean syllable block, romanized “pup.” Hangul packs an initial consonant and a vowel, sometimes with a final consonant, into one block; 풒 has ㅍ + ㅜ + final ㅍ. By itself, it gives you a syllable, not a clear word-level meaning.

Hangul was created in 15th-century Korea under King Sejong to make written Korean easier to learn and use. Its first record is a 1443 entry in the Sejong Sillok, a royal chronicle; the 1446 Hunminjeongeum book explains the writing system. 풒 belongs to that design because it assembles letters into a syllable, rather than being a separate pictorial sign.

How do I type 풒?

With Korean input on, enter ㅍ, then ㅜ, then ㅍ.

On the standard two-set Korean keyboard, called Dubeolsik, those keystrokes are V–N–V. The Korean input method (IME) joins them into one block. With English input active, the same keys type Latin letters.

For software, the separated letter sequence is 풒. Unicode normalization can combine it into 풒; some fonts show the separated letters differently from the composed block.
