Hangul Syllable Ryih

It is a Hangul syllable block built from three jamo.

Hangul is the Korean writing system. Its letters, called jamo, join into blocks for syllables. 릫 combines ᄅ (starting consonant), ᅴ (vowel), and ᇂ (ending consonant). In Korean text, surrounding syllables show how this syllable fits into a word.

Hangul took shape in the Korean kingdom of Joseon as a way to write Korean speech. The Annals of King Sejong, a chronicle of Joseon rulers, record the script in 1443; the 1446 explanatory book Hunminjeongeum explains its purpose and how an initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant form one block. 릫 follows that same system.

How do I type 릫?

Type the jamo in order with a Korean input method.

With a Korean two-set keyboard active, type ㄹ, then ㅡ and ㅣ, then ㅎ. The ㅡ and ㅣ form the vowel ㅢ, and the input method assembles the parts into 릫.

Unicode can store the same syllable as one precomposed block or as its canonically equivalent sequence of joining jamo: ᄅ, ᅴ, ᇂ. Normalization may expose these parts separately; they still represent the same syllable.
