Hangul syllable Pyanh

Read it as one syllable from a larger Korean word.

Hangul is the Korean alphabet; its letters combine into square syllable blocks, and 퍊 is one such block.

Inside a word or name, it contributes one syllable to the spelling and sound. Alone, it gives too little context to translate; ask for the surrounding Korean text before assigning it a separate meaning.

How did Hangul develop?

Hangul was created as a practical Korean writing system.

The earliest recorded creation of the Korean alphabet is dated 1443. Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining the new alphabet, was completed and published in 1446.

Before Hangul, Chinese characters and adapted methods such as hyangchal and idu were used to write Korean words and sounds. During Japanese colonial rule, using Korean language and script could also express national identity.

How do I type 퍊?

Use Korean input with the standard 2-set layout.

Type v, i, s, then g: they enter ㅍ, ㅑ, ㄴ, and ㅎ, which the input method combines into the final cluster ㄶ.

The input method may show an unfinished block as you type, then complete it with the final cluster. Fonts can change the letters’ placement, shape, and size inside the square cell.
