Hangul syllable sels

5445/11172

셄 is a Hangul syllable block in the Korean writing system; understand its role from the Korean word that contains it. The earliest record of Hangul is from Korea's Joseon dynasty in 1443; the 1446 guide Hunminjeongeum explains how the script writes Korean speech. The Mongolian Phags-pa script is discussed as a possible influence on Hangul's design, not a direct ancestor of 셄.
