Hangul Syllable Roj

롲 is one syllable block in Hangul, the Korean writing system, built from ㄹ, ㅗ, and ㅈ. By itself, it may leave the intended word unclear, so read it with the surrounding Korean text. A Korean IME joins those three letters into the block as you type.

What 롲 means

It is one Korean syllable; context clarifies its intended meaning.

The three individual Hangul letters, called jamo, are ㄹ, ㅗ, and ㅈ: ㄹ opens the block, ㅗ supplies the vowel, and ㅈ closes it. A single syllable may sit inside a longer word, so this block alone may not reveal the intended word.

Hangul, the Korean writing system, was created in late December 1443, and its explanatory book was completed in 1446. It was designed to fit Korean speech and syntax, make writing accessible to ordinary users, and help readers learn neighboring languages. The Unicode 2.0 Hangul inventory was arranged algorithmically, so it includes possible syllable combinations without a surviving written example for each one.

What if someone sends 롲 alone?

A lone 롲 leaves the intended word unclear.

Ask for the whole Korean word or sentence; one syllable is not enough to reliably identify what the sender means.

How do I type 롲?

Enter ㄹ, then ㅗ, then ㅈ in a Korean IME.

The input method joins an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant into one Hangul block. On the standard Korean two-set keyboard (Dubeolsik), the keys are F, H, and W, respectively.

Unicode also allows the syllable to be represented as one precomposed character or as separate jamo. A program that exposes decomposed text can therefore store a different sequence while displaying the same syllable.

Neutral Korean text; its intended reading depends on the word around it.

A lone syllable is too little context to assign a message.

Why does 롲 look different in another font?

It is the same character; Hangul fonts can shape and position its component letters differently inside the syllable block.
