  1. 1.

    한글 자모의 열넷째 글자. 이름은 ‘히읗’으로, 이 글자의 소리는 목청에서 나므로 목구멍을 본떠서 만든 ‘ㅇ’의 경우와 같지만 ‘ㅇ’보다 더 세게 나므로 ‘ㅇ’에 획을 더해서 만든 글자이다.

    English: h — The 14th consonant of the Korean alphabet pronounced hieut, which is made by adding a stroke to 'ㅇ', as its sound comes from one's vocal cords like 'ㅇ,' which is created by imitating the shape of a throat, but pronounced more strongly than 'ㅇ.'
