Hangul syllable Yolh

It joins an initial, a vowel, and a final cluster.

Here, initial ᄋ, vowel ᅭ, and final ᆶ (the final-position form of ㅀ) join in one Hangul syllable. The cluster’s sound depends on the surrounding Korean sounds.

When did Hangul begin?

Hangul’s written history reaches back to the fifteenth century.

The Sejong Sillok, a royal chronicle, first records Hunminjeongeum, the early name for the writing system, in 1443; an explanatory book followed in 1446. Hangul was designed to write Korean speech by combining initial, middle, and final sounds into syllable blocks. 욣 follows that block structure, so its connection to other Hangul syllables is compositional.
