What 갚 means

갚 appears in 갚다, a Korean verb meaning “pay back.”

With 돈 (money) or 빚 (debt), 갚다 means repay; with 은혜 (kindness), return a favor; with 원수 (enemy), take revenge. In 갚다, final ㅍ has the same closed-lip ending sound as Korean ㅂ; before the vowel in 갚아, it starts the next syllable.

Hangul’s first record dates to 1443; the 1446 book Hunminjeongeum explained its purpose and how consonants and vowels form syllable blocks. Earlier systems such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal used Chinese characters to write Korean.

Why does 갚 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.
