What 덱 means
In Korean card-game talk, it means a card deck. It appears in 덱빌딩 (“deck building”) and 덱리스트 (“deck list”), terms for building and listing one.
Hangul combines consonants and vowels into one block per syllable; 덱 has an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant. Hangul was created in 1443; its principles were explained in 1446 in a guide meant to make learning Korean easier.
Don't confuse it with
1데크
덱 데크 차이: a 1992 Korean-language study contrasted prescribed `덱` with familiar `데크`; check the spelling of the full word, since the two are not blanket substitutes.
Questions people ask
1Why does 덱 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.
