Halfwidth Hangul Letter Yu

ᅲ is a halfwidth compatibility form of the Korean Hangul jamo ㅠ, the vowel yu. It belongs to legacy mixed-width text; for modern Korean, use ㅠ on its own or a composed Hangul syllable. Some fonts may not display this halfwidth jamo.

What ᅲ means

It represents the Korean vowel yu. Use ㅠ as a standalone jamo in modern Korean, or combine Hangul jamo to write a syllable.

In 2017, a Unicode review linked the halfwidth Hangul set to the 7-bit jamo annex of KS C 5601 / KS X 1001 and to an almost identical Xerox set referencing KS C 5601-1982. These forms let Hangul take one cell in mixed-width layouts.

The vowel value stayed the same; the halfwidth form serves as compatibility data. The 2017 review reported no Korean IME entry for halfwidth jamo and noted that many Korean fonts lacked coverage.

Why does ᅲ 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.
