Text symbol

What 겙 means

Its role comes from Korean spelling; it has no independent meaning.

겙 joins ㄱ (initial consonant), ㅔ (vowel) and ㄾ (a two-consonant final cluster, or batchim). Its reading follows Korean spelling rules.

At King Sejong's Joseon court, Hangul was devised for Korean speech. Its creation was recorded in 1443; the Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the alphabet, appeared in 1446, offering a sound-based alternative to Chinese-character writing.

Orthographic, not conversational.

Alone, it is not a complete Korean word.

Why does 겙 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.
