Hangul Syllable Tweog

퉉 has no fixed word meaning on its own.

It is a Hangul syllable block made from ㅌ, ㅝ and ㄱ: an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant. These component letters are called jamo. The Korean word or sentence around the block supplies its meaning. Unicode’s romanized label “tweog” encodes the jamo sequence; it is a name recipe, not a Korean word or translation.

Hangul was devised in 1443 and described in the 1446 Hunminjeongeum, a text explaining the script and its principles. It offered a more accessible way to write Korean than Chinese-character systems then used for Korean, including Idu, Gugyeol and Hyangchal—different ways of using Chinese characters to write Korean. Early Hangul use included Buddhist scriptures and later Confucian texts, followed by practical writing such as labels, letters and books. It became the official national writing system in 1894; Japanese rule ended that status in 1910. Later education, research and printing widened its public use again.

How do I type 퉉?

On a Korean two-set keyboard, enter its letters in order.

Type ㅌ, then ㅜ followed by ㅓ to build ㅝ, then ㄱ. A Korean input method composes the letters into 퉉; there is no dedicated key for the whole block.

Why can 퉉 appear split?

The same syllable can appear as joined or separate jamo.

Unicode represents modern Hangul as precomposed syllable blocks or sequences of conjoining jamo, which fonts and apps must join for display. Support varies, so the components may remain separate on screen.

The sequence ㅌ + ㅝ + ㄱ still represents 퉉 when an app leaves the components unjoined.
