Hangul syllable Ryeolm

렮 is one Hangul syllable block.

Hangul groups consonant and vowel letters, called jamo, into one block. “Ryeolm” names 렮’s initial ㄹ, vowel ㅕ, and final cluster ㄻ; this construction label is not a word’s translation.

Hangul’s earliest surviving record dates to December 1443; the September 1446 record concerns Hunminjeongeum, an explanatory book. Hangul was created to make Korean writing more direct than earlier Chinese-character-based systems—Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal—and became Korea’s official national writing system in 1894.
