Hangul Syllable Twaenh

퇞 is one Korean syllable, not a standalone word.

Hangul, the Korean writing system, groups consonant and vowel letters—called jamo—into blocks for syllables. In 퇞, ㅌ begins the syllable, ㅙ is its vowel, and ㄶ is a two-consonant ending.

Hangul's recorded timeline starts with an announcement in 1443 and the 1446 Hunminjeongeum, a manuscript explaining the script's design and use. Earlier Korean writing also adapted Chinese characters through systems called Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal. Hangul gained official recognition in 1894, lost that status under Japanese rule in 1910, and saw restoration work after liberation in 1945.

How do I type 퇞?

Use a Korean two-set input method to form 퇞 as you type.

With Korean two-set input active, type xhosg: x → ㅌ, ho → ㅙ, sg → ㄶ. The input method combines these keystrokes into 퇞.

퇞 is the one-character precomposed form; 퇞 is the same syllable stored as three conjoining letters. A Hangul-aware text system can display those letters as a syllable block, with placement varying slightly by font.

Why does ㄶ change its sound?

ㄶ changes sound according to the next syllable.

In standard Korean pronunciation, ㅎ in ㄶ is silent before a vowel-initial ending. Before ㄱ, ㄷ, or ㅈ, it can make the following consonant sound like ㅋ, ㅌ, or ㅊ, so the whole word determines the reading.
