Hangul Syllable Toeb

It represents a Korean syllable; a word supplies its meaning. Hangul, the Korean alphabet, arranges consonants and vowels into syllable blocks. The jamo (letter components) in 툅 are ㅌ, ㅚ, and ㅂ; ㅂ is the final consonant, or batchim.

Hangul was created in 1443; a guide to its purpose and design, 훈민정음 (Hunminjeongeum), appeared in 1446. Earlier Korean writing systems such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal adapted Chinese characters to represent Korean, an approach that could be difficult for ordinary readers. Hangul instead arranged letters into blocks for Korean syllables.

Hangul became Korea's official national writing system in 1894. 툅 follows the same letter-built pattern: an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant combine into one block.

How do I type 툅?

Use a Korean IME and enter ㅌ, then ㅚ, then ㅂ. An IME (input method editor) joins these jamo as you type; Korean keyboards do not need a separate key for every syllable block.

For direct Unicode entry, use your editor's Unicode input command with D205; the shortcut depends on your operating system.

Some apps show the same syllable as separate jamo because Unicode can store it in decomposed form. NFC composes modern Hangul sequences into blocks; NFD keeps them decomposed. The two forms are canonically equivalent, so a split display does not change the syllable.
