Hangul syllable Pweolt

10402/11172

풡 is a Korean syllable block built from ㅍ, ㅝ, and ㄾ. By itself it gives a sound, not a translation; the surrounding Korean word supplies meaning. Its final cluster changes pronunciation with its position.

Text symbol

What 풡 means

It has a pronunciation, but no standalone translation.

The syllable joins ㅍ as its initial consonant, ㅝ as its vowel, and ㄾ as its final cluster. In Korean, the final consonant or cluster at a syllable's base is called batchim; here ㄾ is a double batchim.

Records from King Sejong's court place Hangul's invention in 1443. The 1446 book 훈민정음 explains how a syllable combines an initial sound, a vowel, and an ending, and presents Hangul as a way to write Korean without relying on Chinese characters. Earlier Korean writing also adapted Chinese characters for Korean words and grammar, in systems called idu, hyangchal, and gugyeol. Some elites dismissed Hangul as ordinary people's writing; it later became the main alphabet used for Korean. 풡 inherits that script history.

Why does the final cluster sound different?

Its ending sound depends on what follows.

At a word end or before another consonant, ㄾ is reduced to the Korean ㄹ sound, an l-like final. In some verb forms, a following ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅅ, or ㅈ becomes tense, or more tightly articulated. Before an ending beginning with ㅣ, the ㅌ part can shift toward ㅊ, like the ch sound in “chin.” Korean forms such as 핥다 and 훑소 show these changes.

How do I type 풡?

Use a Korean input method to assemble its jamo.

Enter ㅍ, ㅝ, then ㄾ; the input method combines them into 풡. If it leaves separate jamo or produces a different syllable, the layout did not accept that final cluster.

풡 is one precomposed Unicode character. An equivalent decomposed sequence uses separate Hangul jamo, so search or editing can expose the pieces even when they display as one syllable.

Neutral as a written syllable; the surrounding Korean word gives it tone.

Sent alone, 풡 may look like an unexplained Korean syllable.

Why does 풡 look different across fonts?

That is a font difference. A font that lacks 풡 may show a missing-glyph box; other fonts can draw its strokes differently. The underlying character stays the same.
