What 섈 means
It marks one Korean syllable; the surrounding spelling gives it meaning.
Hangul blocks are built from jamo, the script’s consonant and vowel letters. In 섈, ㅅ is the initial consonant, ㅒ the vowel, and ㄹ the final consonant.
Hangul was devised in 1443. In 1446, a guide called the Hunminjeongeum explained how its letters could write Korean speech without relying on Chinese characters.
