hangul syllable bwad

Hangul syllable Bwad

4376/11172

봗 is one Korean Hangul syllable block: its consonants and vowel form a square. Its jamo (letters) encode a syllable; the block’s shape does not picture an idea.

Text symbol

What 봗 means

It is a written Korean syllable, not a picture. Its jamo are the initial consonant ㅂ, vowel ㅘ, and final consonant ㄷ; together they encode one syllable, not three separate meanings.

Hangul was designed for Korean speech and wider literacy; the older Hanja tradition wrote Korean with Chinese characters. The 훈민정음 document introduced the script in 1443; an explanatory book followed in 1446. After the 1894 reform, it was called 국문 (“national writing”) or 국서 (“national script”); its creation holiday was named 한글날 (“Hangul Day”) in 1928.

Fonts can draw its strokes differently; a font without this character may show a blank box. The encoded syllable is unchanged.

Why does 봗 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.
