Hangul syllable ssweobs

No standard standalone meaning is established as of 2026.

Read 쒒 as a built Hangul syllable, not as a word with a reliable translation on its own. A syllable like this can occur inside a Korean word, where that word supplies the meaning.

Hangul was devised as an alphabetic way to write Korean speech. The script is recorded in 1443 in Sejong Sillok, a royal chronicle, and explained in 1446 in Hunminjeongeum, a book about the new letters. That is the script's history, not evidence that 쒒 was an old word.

Why is 쒒 a character at all?

It follows Hangul's rule for building syllable blocks.

Hangul jamo are the script's alphabetic components: an initial, a vowel, and an optional final combine into one syllable block. 쒒 decomposes as ᄊ + ᅯ + ᆹ; the corresponding compatibility forms used for two-set input are ㅆ + ㅝ + ㅄ.

Unicode 2.0 encoded a systematic full set of these combinations, including some not attested in modern Korean. Being in that inventory makes 쒒 encodable; it does not establish that the block had a Korean word use.

How do I type 쒒?

Enter the jamo in order with a Korean two-set IME.

On a standard two-set Korean input method, enter ㅆ, then ㅝ, then ㅄ. With a QWERTY-labeled layout, the key sequence is Shift+T, N, J, Q, T; the IME assembles the letters into one block.

This is precomposed Hangul text, drawn by the active font, so its shape can vary across devices. An IME may show the composing jamo before the block is complete. Unicode can also represent the same syllable as separate jamo, and text normalization can join those equivalent forms. Without a Korean IME, use the operating system's character picker.
