웊

hangul syllable up

Hangul syllable Up

웊 is a Korean Hangul syllable, roughly “oo” as in “food” followed by a p held closed without release. It combines silent initial ㅇ, vowel ㅜ, and final ㅍ; “up” is its Latin-letter reading, not its English meaning.

Text symbol

What 웊 means

It writes a Korean syllable: “oo” plus a closed “p.”

At the beginning, ㅇ is silent; ㅜ sounds like “oo” in “food”; final ㅍ closes the syllable with an unreleased p. The label “up” writes this Korean sound with Latin letters; it does not give the syllable an English meaning.

Hangul was created under King Sejong to represent Korean speech in a system his subjects could use. The Sejong Sillok (his court annals) records it in 1443; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum was published in 1446. Korean writing also used Hanja, Chinese characters used for Korean; Hangul groups sound-based letters into syllable blocks, while older or dialect texts may show individual Jamo letters separately.

How do I type 웊?

A Korean keyboard composes it from three jamo.

With a Korean input method active, type ㅇ, then ㅜ, then ㅍ; the input method combines them as 웊. If the letters stay separate, switch to Korean input.

In Korean text, it is a neutral syllable block; the surrounding word supplies its context.

“Up” is the Latin-letter reading of the Korean syllable, not an English instruction to move upward.
