What 숮 means
It is a Hangul syllable, not a word with fixed meaning.
The block combines ㅅ (initial consonant), ㅜ (vowel) and final ㅈ. “suj” is Unicode’s algorithmic label for this sequence, not a translation. As of 2026-09-13, no standard standalone dictionary meaning is established for 숮. On a Korean keyboard, the input method joins these letters into the block.
How does 숮 fit into Korean writing?
Hangul writes Korean syllables in grouped blocks.
Hangul was devised under King Sejong around 1443 and officially promulgated in 1446. It gave Korean a practical writing system beyond texts written with Chinese characters. 숮 follows Hangul’s syllable-based design.
The charcoal word 숯 has a separate history: it is attested as 蘇戌 in 1103 and in Middle Korean as 수ᇧ in 1459. The modern spelling is 숯, with final ㅊ; 숮 ends in ㅈ. Those dates describe 숯, not 숮.
Is 숮 the charcoal word 숯?
No. For charcoal, the standard spelling is 숯.
숮 and 숯 share ㅅ and ㅜ, but their final consonants differ: 숮 ends in ㅈ, while 숯 ends in ㅊ. If 숮 appears by itself, treat it as text that needs context rather than assigning it the meaning “charcoal.”
It reads as a Korean text character; its role depends on the surrounding word or sentence.
For charcoal, the spelling is 숯, not 숮.
