Hangul syllable 륑

By itself, 륑 has no fixed word meaning.

륑 represents roughly the Korean sound “rwing”: ㄹ starts it with an r/l-like sound, ㅟ gives “wi,” and final ㅇ closes it with “ng.” It is a syllable, not a meaning; a surrounding Korean word supplies the sense.

Hangul was designed under King Sejong to make Korean easier to write than earlier systems that adapted Chinese characters for Korean, including Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal. Its earliest surviving announcement dates to 1443; the 1446 book Hunminjeongeum explained its design. Over later centuries, Hangul appeared in religious books, letters, public writing, and digital text. Scholars debate whether the Mongolian Phags-pa script influenced Hangul; that debate concerns the script's design, not this individual syllable.
