Hangul Syllable Pyeos

폇 is one Korean written syllable, not a word with its own translation or a standalone message.

It is made from three Korean letters: ㅍ, ㅕ, and final ㅅ. That last letter is the syllable’s batchim, the term for a written ending consonant. As of 2026, this exact block has no established standalone Korean word, slang meaning, or fixed chat use.

Hangul was created in 1443, and an explanatory book about it was completed in 1446. It gave people a way to write Korean speech more directly than Chinese-character writing alone allowed. Earlier methods called idu, gugyeol, and hyangchal used Chinese characters to record Korean; they belong to the wider history of Korean writing, not to the construction of 폇.

How do I type 폇?

On a Korean 2-set keyboard, press V, U, then T.

Those keys supply ㅍ, ㅕ, and ㅅ. A Korean input method editor (IME), the software that turns keystrokes into Korean text, assembles them into 폇. If separate letters or Latin characters appear, switch your keyboard’s input language to Korean.

How is 폇 pronounced?

At a syllable end, Korean ㅅ sounds like a stopped t.

The tongue makes the t-like stop but releases no burst of air. Before a following vowel, ㅅ links into that syllable and sounds like s. So “pyeos” names the written syllable; it does not promise one fixed sound in every context.
