Korean syllable 퓺

It spells one Korean syllable; the block is built from letters.

Its parts are ㅍ at the start, ㅠ in the middle, and the final cluster ㅄ at the end. Korean calls these letters jamo. A Korean IME assembles them into the precomposed block; Unicode can also decompose and recompose it.

Hangul was devised to represent Korean speech and make reading and writing easier. Its creation dates to late 1443; a 1446 explanatory text set out its principles and use. It later developed alongside Hanja (Chinese characters used in Korean texts) and Idu (a system for writing Korean with Chinese characters). During the Joseon dynasty, women used Hangul in letters and literature, helping establish it as an everyday writing system. A proposed influence from the Phags-pa script remains debated and concerns Hangul's overall design, not 퓺 in particular. The 1933 unified spelling proposal and its 1988 revision shaped modern spelling.
