Hangul syllable Ryad

It contributes one Korean syllable; the word around it gives the meaning.

The parts of 랻 are ㄹ (initial consonant), ㅑ (vowel), and ㄷ (final consonant). Unicode’s split form is ᄅ, ᅣ and ᆮ: Hangul jamo, the joining letters used inside a syllable block. “Ryad” is an algorithmic label, not a translation.

King Sejong’s court devised Hangul in 1443 so people who could not read Chinese characters could write Korean. The 1446 Hunminjeongeum is a book explaining the alphabet. Early court translations of Buddhist and Confucian books helped it spread. In 1894, a decree made Hangul the basis of official documents while allowing Chinese or mixed-script versions.
