Hangul syllable 퇔

It is one Korean syllable; any word meaning comes from context. The block combines ㅌ as its opening consonant, ㅘ as its vowel, and ㅋ as its final consonant. These Hangul jamo (letters) show the syllable’s sound parts; Korean spelling supplies the word around it.

Hangul was devised under King Sejong in a Korean writing culture where Classical Chinese dominated formal writing. A documented record of the alphabet dates to 1443; an explanatory guide appeared in 1446 and describes how consonants and vowels combine in initial, middle, and final positions. The script was meant to make Korean easier to write and learn. Over time, Hangul became the everyday script, while Chinese characters used in Korean kept narrower scholarly and institutional roles. These dates describe Hangul’s history, not 퇔’s first appearance.

Unicode represents 퇔 as one precomposed syllable with a canonical jamo decomposition. Fonts can arrange the same parts differently inside the square syllable cell, changing proportions or stroke details without changing the character.
