Hangul Syllable Ssun

It has no standalone meaning; read it inside the surrounding Korean word.

쑨 is one Hangul block: tense ㅆ plus vowel ㅜ plus final ㄴ. Blocks pack those jamo into a single syllable, so this hangul character carries the sound ssun rather than an idea or reaction.

As of 2026-09-12, no separate emblematic life for this exact block was found. Its ancestor is Hangeul, recorded in 1443 with its explanatory book published in 1446 to write Korean systematically. Today 쑨 appears as ordinary spelling, as a tense pronunciation spelling such as [죽 쑨], or as a phonetic rendering in a Chinese personal name.

How do I type 쑨?

On a Korean IME, enter ㅆ, then ㅜ, then ㄴ.

The IME fuses the initial, vowel, and final into one block. On the standard two-set layout, ㅆ is the shifted ㅅ key; exact positions vary, so copy it from the palette above when you need the exact block.

A font may show the precomposed block or an equivalent normalized jamo sequence. That changes the encoding, not the reading; if the parts look separated, check the underlying text before treating it as another symbol.
