Hangul syllable Roej

룆 is one Korean syllable, and its surrounding word supplies the meaning. The roman spelling roej labels the syllable; it is not a Korean word gloss. As of 2026, this exact syllable has no established standalone word or message meaning in Korean.

Hangul's 28-letter system was devised under King Sejong in 1443; the guide explaining the letters, Hunminjeongeum, was completed in 1446. It gave ordinary people a way to write Korean without the extensive training needed for Chinese characters. The script's historical names include Hunminjeongeum, eonmun, gukmun, and Hangeul; those names belong to the writing system, not to a special meaning of 룆.

Hangul's square syllable blocks could sit alongside Chinese characters in mixed text. In 룆, ㄹ is the starting consonant, ㅚ the vowel, and ㅈ the ending consonant. The component letters, called jamo, can also appear separately in decomposed Hangul; that is another representation of the same syllable, not a different meaning.

How do I type 룆?

Use a Korean input method to compose ㄹ + ㅚ + ㅈ. On the standard two-set Dubeolsik layout, type f h l w: f enters ㄹ, h then l form ㅚ, and w enters ㅈ. With Korean input turned off, those keys produce Latin letters.
