What 퓆 means
It is one Korean syllable made from three Hangul letters.
퓆 is a single Hangul block: initial consonant ㅍ, vowel ㅞ, and final consonant ㅈ. The same syllable can also be written with three connected jamo, 퓆. Jamo are Hangul's consonant and vowel letters; the Korean word containing 퓆 supplies its word meaning.
Hangul was devised in 1443 for writing Korean and was then called Hunminjeongeum. In 1446, a book with that name explained the script's purpose and design. This syllable follows Hangul's regular pattern of combining an initial consonant, a vowel, and an optional final consonant.
In Korean writing, 퓆 is a regular syllable block; alone, it reads like one syllable lifted out of a word.
Worth knowing
- Unicode derives the syllable's name, PWEJ, from the short labels of its three jamo; it is a generated character name, not a Korean word.
