hangul syllable gaek

Hangul syllable Gaek

53/11172

갴 is one written syllable in Hangul, the Korean alphabet; by itself, it has no standard Korean word meaning. Its parts are ㄱ, ㅐ, and ㅋ, and a Korean two-set keyboard forms it with r-o-z.

Text symbol

What 갴 means

It is a syllable spelling, not a word with its own definition.

Hangul syllables join jamo, or letters, into blocks: in 갴, ㄱ is the initial consonant, ㅐ the vowel, and ㅋ the final consonant.

Hangul was devised under King Sejong to make Korean writing easier to learn than Chinese-character writing. Its first record is dated 1443; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum, whose title means roughly Correct Sounds for the Instruction of the People, appeared in 1446.

No built-in social tone; on its own, it reads as an isolated written syllable.

Alone in a message, it may look like a typo or keyboard test.

Why does 갴 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.
