What 욖 means
욖 is a Hangul syllable block in Korean writing. Hangul, the Korean alphabet, groups letters called jamo into syllable blocks. 욖 combines initial ㅇ, vowel ㅛ, and final ㄲ; at a syllable's start, ㅇ is silent, and ㄲ is the doubled form of ㄱ.
As of 2026-09-09, 욖 has no established standalone everyday Korean word meaning. It is a spelling unit, so a Korean word or sentence containing it supplies the meaning.
Hangul was devised in 1443; its guide, 훈민정음, a book explaining the new letters, appeared in 1446. The script gave Korean speakers a direct way to write their language with an alphabet. At the time, writing also drew on literary Chinese and Idu, a system that adapted Chinese characters to write Korean.
How do I type 욖?
A Korean IME composes the block from three letters. Enable Korean input and enter ㅇ, ㅛ, then ㄲ. On a QWERTY keyboard with the standard Korean two-set layout, press d, y, then ShiftR.
욖's Unicode decomposition is ᄋ ᅭ ᆩ, the position-specific Hangul letters corresponding to ㅇ ㅛ ㄲ. Normalization may display them separately; Unicode treats the sequence as one grapheme, or written text unit, for line-breaking.
Orthographic and technical; it fits Korean spelling examples and text-input tests.

1Why does 욖 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
