Hangul syllable 룣

It contributes one syllable inside a Korean word.

룣 is a Hangul block made from the initial consonant ㄹ, the vowel ㅛ, and the final consonant ㅊ. Those letters show how the syllable is written; the whole Korean word supplies the meaning.

Why was Hangul created?

To let more people read and write Korean.

Hangul was created under King Sejong of Korea in 1443 for people who lacked access to Chinese-character literacy. A guidebook published in 1446, the Hunminjeongeum Haeryebon, explained the script’s sounds and rules, including how consonants and vowels form syllable blocks. 룣 follows that system: it is a combination of letters in one block, not a separately invented historical sign.

How do I type 룣?

Switch to Korean input and enter ㄹ, then ㅛ, then ㅊ.

A Korean syllable-composing input method joins those parts into 룣. Unicode can store Hangul as one precomposed syllable or as separate jamo, the letters used to build syllable blocks. Software may combine separate jamo for display, and fonts can draw the block differently. With Korean input off, the same physical keys may produce their usual Latin characters.
