Hangul syllable 퇡

퇡 is a Hangul syllable; Korean words supply its meaning.

It is one block made from three Hangul jamo: ᄐ is the initial consonant, ᅫ the vowel, and ᆰ the final consonant cluster. Read it as one syllable within a Korean word; the surrounding spelling gives it a word-level meaning.

King Sejong promoted Hangul so Korean could be written in a system easier to learn and use than writing with Chinese characters alone. The record of its creation dates to 1443; its explanatory text, 훈민정음 (“Correct Sounds for Instructing the People”), appeared in 1446. Hangul appeared in court, religious, private, and legal writing before becoming central to public documents. A 1894 decree made it the basis of official documents, though mixed Hangul-and-Chinese-character writing continued. Hangul’s square syllable blocks developed alongside Chinese-character writing. The Phags-pa script, promulgated in 1269, has been proposed as a possible influence on Hangul’s design.

How do I type 퇡 on a Korean keyboard?

On the standard 2-set layout, type initial, vowel, then final.

For this syllable, enter ㅌ, then ㅗ + ㅐ, then final ㄹ + ㄱ. On a standard Korean 2-set QWERTY keyboard, that key stream is x-h-o-f-r (xhofr). If the input method leaves the letters separate, switch it to Korean; a font change will not assemble them.
