Hangul syllable tyeot

Read it as one syllable inside a Korean word.

Hangul groups an opening consonant and a vowel, with an optional closing consonant, into one Korean syllable block. In 톁, those parts are ㅌ, ㅕ, and ㅌ. The block contributes one syllable sound; the larger word supplies the meaning.

Hangul was created to make Korean easier to write for people who struggled with Chinese characters and to represent Korean speech directly. The writing system was completed in 1443 and promulgated in 1446 as Hunminjeongeum, “Correct Sounds for the Instruction of the People.”

How do I type 톁?

On the standard Korean two-set layout, press x-u-x.

The first x enters ㅌ, u enters ㅕ, and the last x enters ㅌ. A Korean input method assembles the three letter parts as you type; a Korean font only displays the finished block. If the parts stay separate, switch to Korean input.

Which Hangul forms are related to 톁?

It has a precomposed block and a three-letter decomposed form.

Unicode treats the single block 톁 and the sequence 톁 as equivalent Hangul spellings. Text processing keeps the sequence together as one syllable, even if an app displays its parts separately.

A Korean linguistics study published in 2019 argues that Hangul’s syllable theory and block arrangement parallel parts of the Phags-pa script, another writing system. This proposed design influence is debated; it does not establish that 톁 itself was borrowed.
