Hangul Syllable Rot

As of 2026-09-13, it had no established standalone Korean meaning.

A Hangul block combines smaller letters called jamo: an initial consonant, a vowel and, here, a final consonant. 롵 combines ㄹ + ㅗ + ㅌ, so its place in a Korean word supplies its role and meaning.

Hangul was devised in 1443 and introduced in 1446 with Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the new script. Before then, systems called Idu, Gugyeol and Hyangchal adapted Chinese characters to write Korean, so speech and writing could diverge. Hangul offered a more direct system intended to be easier to learn. The script later appeared in translations, practical and teaching books, literature and digital text; these are stages in Hangul's history, not meanings specific to 롵.

How do I type 롵 on a Korean keyboard?

With the Korean two-set layout active, press F, H, then X.

On a QWERTY keyboard with the Korean two-set layout enabled, F, H and X enter ㄹ, ㅗ and ㅌ. A Korean input method (IME) combines them into one syllable block.

As you continue typing, an IME may move a final consonant into the next syllable when a vowel follows. The final consonant in a syllable is called batchim in Korean.

Why does 롵 look different in fonts?

Different outlines can still represent the same character.

Hangul fonts can shape the same block differently without changing the underlying text.

Unicode also permits the canonically equivalent jamo sequence 롵. Its parts are ᄅ, the initial consonant; ᅩ, the vowel; and ᇀ, the final consonant. If an app requires composed text, normalize to NFC before matching.
