Hangul syllable Tyaegg

It is one written Korean syllable, read within its word. The block places ㅌ at the start, ㅒ as its vowel, and ㄲ at the bottom. In Korean writing, that block supplies a syllable; its role comes from the surrounding word.

How did Hangul's syllable blocks begin?

They follow Hangul's original system for building syllables. Hangul was developed in 1443, and the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum was published in 1446. Its design offered a way to write Korean without needing literacy in Chinese characters.

Before Hangul, Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol adapted Chinese characters in different ways to write Korean. They were earlier solutions to that writing problem, not ancestors of 턖. Hangul later became part of everyday books and official writing; under Japanese colonial rule, its public use was suppressed while education and research helped preserve it.

How do I type 턖?

On the standard Korean two-set keyboard, build it from three keystrokes. Switch your input to Korean, then type x, Shift+O, and Shift+R for ㅌ, ㅒ, and ㄲ; the Korean input method combines them into 턖.

Unicode can also represent the same syllable as three conjoining jamo: ᄐ, ᅤ, and ᆩ. If software needs one precomposed character, NFC normalization combines those pieces into 턖.
