Hangul syllable rwess

Its parts form a syllable; the label is not a word translation. The label “rwess” describes three Korean letters, called jamo: ㄹ is the opening consonant, ㅞ the vowel, and ㅆ the final consonant. As of 2026, no standalone word or message meaning is established for this exact block.

Hangul was designed for Korean speech, which the older Chinese-character writing tradition did not represent as directly. The Sejong Shilok, a Korean royal chronicle, records Hangul's creation in 1443. The Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the new letters, was published in 1446 and explains how initial, middle, and final letters share one syllable cell. In its 15th-century form, Hangul had 28 letters, including four no longer in ordinary modern use; historical Hangul also appears in sequences of old jamo.

Fonts arrange the strokes differently inside the square syllable cell, so proportions can change without changing the text character.

How do I type 뤴?

Use a Korean IME and enter its components in order.

Type ㄹ + ㅞ + ㅆ. On standard Dubeolsik with a US QWERTY keymap, that is f, n, p, then Shift+t—written compactly as fnpT. The IME combines the jamo into one block as you type.

If separate jamo appear, check that Hangul composition mode is enabled. A font draws the block; the IME combines its components.
