Text symbol

What 빛 means

Its core sense is visible light.

In a phrase, 빛 can also refer to a sheen, color, or atmosphere, or carry figurative senses such as hope and glory. The surrounding Korean sets the reading.

Hangul was developed in the 15th century to write Korean more directly. Earlier ways of writing Korean adapted Chinese characters, including systems called Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol. The word 빛 is recorded in 1447 in the Seokbo sangjeol, a Korean Buddhist text.

Sent alone, 빛 reads first as the Korean word for light; surrounding words add a more specific or figurative sense.
