Hangul syllable Weoc

It marks a syllable; the word or phrase supplies the meaning.

The block combines Hangul’s component letters, called jamo: leading ᄋ, vowel ᅯ, and trailing ᆾ. “Weoc” is Unicode’s component-based name, not a Korean word or translation.

Hangul was devised in Joseon Korea under King Sejong to make writing Korean easier than using Chinese characters alone. Its creation is recorded in 1443. Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the script published in 1446, explains how the initial, vowel, and final parts form syllable blocks. The script had several names; Hangeul became widespread around 1928.

Why can 웣 appear as jamo?

Unicode normalization can show one syllable in component letters.

Unicode normalization can represent 웣 in equivalent forms. NFD shows ᄋ + ᅯ + ᆾ; NFC recombines those jamo into 웣. Changing between the forms does not change the text’s content.

How do I type 웣 with a Korean keyboard?

With a Korean 2-set keyboard layout active, type dnjc.

The layout maps d to ㅇ, n to ㅜ, j to ㅓ, and c to ㅊ. The keyboard combines ㅜ + ㅓ into ㅝ, then composes the syllable 웣. Select the Korean 2-set layout in your device’s keyboard settings.
