Hangul syllable Rad

Type ㄹ, ㅏ, ㄷ with f-k-e on a Korean two-set keyboard.

In the standard Dubeolsik layout, the initial ㄹ is on f, ㅏ is on k, and final ㄷ is on e. Switch to Korean input; the IME, or input software, combines these jamo—Hangul's component letters—into one syllable block.

What does 랃 mean?

By itself, 랃 has no reliable translation; read the surrounding Korean word.

Hangul was designed to write Korean speech by grouping an initial consonant, a vowel, and sometimes a final consonant into a syllable. The system is explained in Hunmin-Jeongeum, a guide to the new Korean writing system published in 1446.

A Korean printed text from 1617 contains 사랃거, an older form annotated in modern Korean as 살았거든, roughly “because someone lived.” Here 랃 sits inside a word; translating the isolated syllable would lose the surrounding context.
