Hangul Syllable Sswinh

As of 2026, 쒾 has no fixed meaning by itself.

Its parts are the initial consonant ㅆ, the vowel ㅟ, and the final consonant cluster ㄶ. “Sswinh” is the Latin spelling label in Unicode’s English character name, not a translation.

Hangul was devised in 1443 to write Korean speech and explained in 1446 in Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the new script. Its letters fit into square syllable cells: the initial and vowel sit together, with an optional final consonant below.

Someone sent me 쒾—what does it mean?

The surrounding message supplies its use.

If someone sent 쒾 by itself, treat it as a character sample, keyboard test, or possible typo—not a mood cue. Ask for the surrounding text before translating it.

Hangul later became tied to literacy and Korean national identity. North Korea adopted Hangul-only writing in the late 1940s; South Korea moved away from writing that mixed Hangul and Chinese characters more slowly and amid debate.

How do I type 쒾?

Use Shift+T, N, L, S, G on a Korean 2-set keyboard.

On Dubeolsik, the standard Korean 2-set layout, those keys enter ㅆ, ㅜ, ㅣ, ㄴ, ㅎ in order; the input method combines them into ㅆ + ㅟ + ㄶ. Other Korean layouts may assign different keys.

Unicode also represents the syllable with the conjoining-jamo sequence 쒾. Text normalization or an editor may expose those three pieces separately; the syllable’s representation changes, not its identity.
