Hangul syllable raeh

It spells one Korean syllable inside a word or name.

Hangul is the Korean writing system; its jamo (letters) combine into syllable blocks. In 랳, ㄹ is the initial consonant, ㅐ the vowel, and ㅎ the final consonant. A Korean Dubeolsik (2-set) keyboard enters them with f, o, g in that order; the surrounding spelling supplies the word-level reading and meaning.

How is 랳 built from jamo?

Hangul joins alphabetic letters into blocks that each spell a syllable.

Hangul was created in 1443 to write Korean speech directly. A book explaining its letters, Hunminjeongeum, appeared in 1446. Earlier ways to write Korean, including Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal, adapted Chinese characters and were difficult for ordinary learners. Hangul offered a purpose-built alphabet; over time, it moved from a new teaching system into everyday writing. A 1894 reform made it an official writing system in Korea.

Unicode can also represent a syllable as separate Jamo instead of one precomposed block. Text normalization—a process that represents equivalent text in a standard form—can expose that sequence. Fonts may position the components differently inside the block; that changes its appearance, not the intended Korean spelling.
