Hangul syllable ssyeoss

It spells one syllable inside a Korean word. In Unicode’s decomposed spelling, 쎴 consists of ᄊ, an initial consonant; ᅧ, a vowel; and ᆻ, a final consonant. The components join into one block, while neighboring syllables and grammar reveal the word’s meaning.

Hangul was created under King Sejong in 1443 and first called Hunminjeongeum. Before it, Korean was written with Chinese characters and adaptations of them; Hangul offered a simpler system for writing the language. The 1446 book Hunminjeongeum explained the script’s principles. Those dates belong to Hangul’s history, not to this individual syllable.

Hangul groups alphabetic consonant and vowel letters into syllable blocks. Unicode can represent 쎴 as one precomposed block or as an equivalent sequence of conjoining letters. Fonts may place or shape the components differently; the text remains the same.

How do I type 쎴?

Use a Korean keyboard input method.

On the standard two-set Korean layout (Dubeolsik), switch to Korean input and press Shift+T, U, Shift+T; the input method joins the letters into 쎴. Enter the initial consonant, vowel, then final consonant.
