What 릯 means
Its block gives a syllable spelling, not an English gloss. 릯 combines ㄹ (initial consonant), ㅣ (vowel), and final ㄳ (a consonant cluster). The surrounding Korean word supplies its meaning.
Hangul's earliest clear record dates to 1443. A 1446 explanatory book describes its purpose and how initial, middle, and final letters combine into syllables. Hangul offered a way to write Korean without relying on Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal—older systems that adapted Chinese characters to Korean speech. The script later entered religious, practical, household, literary, and official writing; 릯 follows the same block design.
Why does the final ㄳ matter?
ㄳ is a final cluster whose sound depends on what follows. At a word end or before another consonant, it reduces to the k-like ㄱ sound. Before a vowel, its ㅅ can move to the next syllable and sound like a tense s.
How do I type 릯?
Enter ㄹ, ㅣ, then ㄳ in a Korean IME. A Korean IME (input method editor) combines the initial, vowel, and final cluster into one Hangul block. The physical keystrokes vary by keyboard layout.
