Hangul Syllable Pyalb

It is one Korean syllable, not a complete word. 퍏 (pyalb) is a Hangul syllable block: Hangul is the writing system used for Korean, and each block groups letter parts into one written syllable. Here, the parts are the opening consonant ᄑ, the vowel ᅣ, and the closing consonant cluster ᆲ. In Korean text, this block contributes one syllable; the surrounding word supplies the meaning.

The two key dates are 1443 and 1446. Hangul was developed in 1443, and the Hunminjeongeum, a manuscript explaining the new writing system, was published in 1446. Hangul let people record Korean directly; early Hangul texts included explanations, translations, practical books, and literature.

How do I type 퍏?

Type vifq on a Korean 2-set input method. A 2-set input method is a Korean keyboard layout. Those keys enter consonant ㅍ, vowel ㅑ, then consonants ㄹ and ㅂ; the input method combines the last two as the block's final cluster.

퍏 and 퍏 are canonically equivalent forms. Unicode normalization to NFC, a standard composed form of text, can turn the three-part spelling into the single block. Software that compares unnormalized character sequences may still distinguish them.

Fonts can give the opening consonant, vowel, and final cluster different proportions inside the square syllable cell. The appearance can change by typeface; the reading does not.
