Hangul syllable Raenh

랞 is a Hangul syllable block made from ㄹ + ㅐ + ㄶ. Those are its initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant cluster. A syllable block is a written unit within Korean text; by itself, 랞 gives too little context to interpret a message.

Hangul's history is the history of Korean syllable blocks. The oldest surviving official record of the script is from 1443; its explanatory work was completed in 1446. Hangul was created to make Korean easier to write than systems adapting Chinese characters for Korean, including Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal. It spread through Buddhist and Confucian books, letters, labels, and practical guides across social ranks. It became an official writing system in 1894 and lost that status under Japanese rule after 1910. The link is Korean writing, not a separate meaning for 랞.

Why does 랞 look different in fonts?

Fonts can arrange the same syllable differently. Hangul syllables fit inside square cells, but the size and placement of ㄹ, ㅐ, and ㄶ can vary without changing 랞.

Unicode also represents this syllable as the decomposed sequence 랞. If font support or text normalization—the software's standardization of equivalent character sequences—leaves the jamo uncombined, they may appear separately while still representing the same syllable.
