What 갈 means
The ending or next word decides. 갈 거야 says the speaker plans or expects to go; 갈게 is an informal promise to go. In 칼을 갈다, 갈 is part of 갈다, “sharpen.”
Hangul was devised in 1443 for Korean sounds; its 1446 guide, Hunminjeongeum Haerye, explains syllable blocks. It records an older spelling ᄀᆞᆯ for a word meaning “common reed.” The modern block combines an initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant; Unicode can also store it as 갈.
