What 튁 means
Read it in its Korean word to understand its meaning. Hangul builds this syllable block from three jamo (Korean letters): initial ㅌ, vowel ㅟ, and final ㄱ. Read the complete Korean word around it to see what the syllable contributes.
King Sejong created Hangul in 1443 to give Korean, which differs from Chinese, a script that was easier to learn than relying on Chinese characters. The script was first called Hunminjeongeum; a book with that title explained its purpose and principles in 1446. Over time, Hangul appeared in Buddhist and Confucian works, practical writing, and official publications.
How do I type 튁 on a Korean keyboard?
On a standard Korean two-set keyboard, enter xnlr. Switch your input method to Korean, then press x, n, l, and r in order for ㅌ, ㅜ, ㅣ, and ㄱ. The input method combines them into one syllable block.
The vowel ㅟ is entered by typing ㅜ followed by ㅣ; the input method combines those letters as you type.
Neutral as a Korean syllable; its contribution depends on the word or phrase around it.
“Twig” is a technical Unicode label, not the English word for a branch.

Questions people ask
2Why does Unicode call 튁 “twig”?
“Twig” is the generated Unicode name, assembled from short component labels T, WI, and G. It names the initial, vowel, and final jamo; it is not a translation of the English noun.
Can 튁 be written as separate jamo?
Yes. Unicode can represent the same syllable as the three letters 튁 or as the block 튁; normalization converts between them. As of 2026-10-08, modern browsers generally shape conjoining jamo as a block, but support in other apps is less consistent.
