Hangul Syllable Teult

Its name describes a syllable pattern, not a translated word. Hangul blocks combine an initial consonant, a vowel, and sometimes a final consonant; 틅 decomposes into ᄐ, ᅳ, and ᆴ. These are the initial, vowel, and final jamo—the Hangul letters used to build a block. The final cluster is also written ㄾ.

King Sejong created Hangul in 1443 to make Korean easier to learn and write; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum appeared in 1446. Unicode’s modern Hangul set follows Johab, the full list defined by Korean standard KS C 5601 in 1992; it includes combinations that need not occur in ordinary words.
