Hangul syllable roep

No standalone reading is established as of 2026. 룊 is built from ㄹ, the vowel ㅚ, and final ㅍ. Hangul jamo are the consonant and vowel letters used to assemble Korean syllable blocks; here they spell the block's structure, not a translation of a word.

Hangul’s earliest surviving creation record dates to 1443; its explanatory book, Hunminjeongeum, followed in 1446. Hangul was designed to make Korean easier to write, alongside earlier methods that repurposed Chinese characters to write Korean speech: Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol. Those are historical writing methods, not visual ancestors of 룊. Hangul later shifted from vernacular writing used beside Classical Chinese to the ordinary writing system for Korean; this changed the script’s social role, not this block’s meaning.

How do I type 룊?

Type ㄹ, then ㅗ, ㅣ, and ㅍ in Korean input. On the common two-set Korean keyboard, those keys sit at F-H-L-V on QWERTY. The input method combines ㅗ+ㅣ into ㅚ and groups the jamo into 룊. If the keys appear as separate Latin letters, switch your keyboard to Korean.

Unicode normalization can store this syllable in two equivalent forms: NFC uses the single block 룊; NFD uses the three jamo 룊. A text field that requires one precomposed syllable may need NFC. A square in place of the syllable usually means the active font lacks Hangul glyphs.
