Hangul syllable Twaeb

퇩 is one Hangul syllable, not a complete Korean word by itself. Its meaning comes from the Korean word it helps spell; the neighboring syllables supply that word's sense. Unicode decomposes 퇩 into three Hangul jamo—letters that combine into a syllable block: an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant.

Hangul was created in 1443; the Hunminjeongeum, a manuscript explaining the alphabet and how to use it, was published in 1446. Hangul was designed to represent Korean speech and widen access to reading beyond literary Chinese. Older Korean writing can use jamo sequences where modern text uses a precomposed syllable block.

How do I type 퇩 on a Korean keyboard?

Use Korean input and enter the syllable's parts in order. On the standard 2-set Dubeolsik layout for QWERTY, x enters ㅌ, h then o forms ㅙ, and q enters final ㅂ; the input method composes them as 퇩. Other layouts use different physical keys.

Typing ㅌㅙㅂ as three separate compatibility-jamo characters leaves them separate. Enter the keystrokes in a Korean input method so it can compose one syllable block.

Why does 퇩 look different in fonts?

Fonts can change the shape, size, and placement of its parts. The components sit within a Hangul syllable cell, and their exact drawing depends on the font. A different-looking block is still 퇩.
