Hangul syllable Ralt

It is a Hangul syllable block made from three letter components. In order, they are initial ᄅ, vowel ᅡ, and final cluster ᆴ (ㄹ + ㅌ). Hangul calls these components jamo. Unicode can store the same syllable as one precomposed character or as that jamo sequence; fonts may space the parts differently.

Where does 랉 come from?

It belongs to Hangul’s syllable-writing system. The earliest recorded evidence for Hangul dates to 1443; an explanatory book, 훈민정음, followed in 1446. Its title means “Correct Sounds for the Instruction of the People.” Hangul was designed to make Korean easier to write than systems that relied on Chinese characters. Earlier methods, 이두, 구결, and 향찰, used Chinese characters to write Korean, but they are not ancestors of 랉’s syllable structure.

Hangul appeared in Buddhist and Confucian books, practical texts, and everyday writing. It gained official status in 1894 and lost it under Japanese rule in 1910. The Korean name 한글 spread in the early 1910s and again after 1928.

How do I type 랉?

Use a Korean 2-set keyboard or a Unicode escape.

On the standard 2-set layout, also called Dubeolsik, type f + k + f + x; the input method combines them into ㄹ + ㅏ + ㄹ + ㅌ, with the last two forming ㄾ. In code that accepts Unicode escapes, use \uB789.
