Hangul syllable Rwal

It is one Korean syllable block, normally read within surrounding text. As of 2026-09-13, 뢀 has no established standalone social meaning, so treat a lone block as Hangul text or an input test unless context adds a reading.

Hangul syllables follow an initial-consonant, vowel, and sometimes final-consonant pattern described in Hunminjeongeum, a guide published in 1446. Hangul was developed to widen access to reading and writing and to give systematic pronunciations for Chinese characters. The Hangul consonant ㄹ appears at both ends of 뢀, with the vowel ㅘ between them.

Why do South and North Korean spellings differ?

They apply different rules to certain word-initial ㄹ syllables. In South Korean spelling, some Sino-Korean words—words built from Chinese-character readings—with initial 라, 래, 로, 뢰, 루, or 르 use 나, 내, 노, 뇌, 누, or 느 instead. North Korean spelling keeps ㄹ in these forms. This list does not include ㅘ, the vowel in 뢀.

A 1993 comparison records this difference. The rule belongs to particular words, so it cannot be applied to a lone block without knowing the word.

How do I type 뢀?

On standard Dubeolsik, enter f h k f in a Korean IME. Dubeolsik is the standard two-set Korean keyboard layout; f supplies the first ㄹ, h then k combine as ㅘ, and the final f supplies the last ㄹ. The input method joins these letters into one block.
