Hangul syllable Twilt

튍 is one Hangul syllable block; by itself, it does not identify a particular word or message. In a Korean word or name, its reading comes from the surrounding context. “Twilt” describes the block's components, not a Korean translation.

Text symbol

What 튍 means

It is a Hangul syllable block, not a complete word by itself.

The block combines ㅌ as its opening consonant, ㅟ as its vowel, and ㄾ as a closing consonant cluster. A Korean word or name gives the syllable its context.

Unicode's label “Twilt” is built from those component names; it describes the character's construction rather than translating a Korean word.

Hangul joins its letters into syllable blocks

Hangul's creation and formal explanation are dated to 1443 and 1446, respectively. It was designed as a practical way to write Korean speech without relying only on Chinese characters, and later appeared in translations, practical books, religious works, and literature.

A syllable can be stored as one precomposed character (one encoded block) or as conjoining jamo (individual Hangul letters arranged into a block). Unicode normalization, which standardizes equivalent text sequences, and font shaping can change the stored sequence while displaying the same syllable.
