hangul syllable geoh

Hangul syllable geoh

140/11172

겋 is a Korean Hangul syllable, not an emoji or a word on its own. It gets its meaning inside words such as 멀겋다 (“slightly cloudy or blank-looking”) and 시뻘겋다 (“deep red”). Copy it from the palette if you need this exact ㄱ ㅓ ㅎ block.

Text symbol

What 겋 means

Alone, 겋 has no fixed meaning. You meet this Hangul syllable inside Korean words such as 멀겋다 (“slightly cloudy, watery, or blank-looking”) and 시뻘겋다 (“deep red”); the surrounding word does the work. It is plain text, not emoji artwork, so fonts may draw it a little differently without changing the character.

Build it as ㄱ ㅓ ㅎ, with ㅎ as the bottom 받침. That final ㅎ is the tell: type or check it carefully, because swapping it changes the block into a different syllable. To use 겋, copy it from the palette or type the three jamo in a Korean IME and let it compose.

Neutral as a text character; the surrounding Korean word sets the tone.

Do not send it alone as if it were an emoji reaction.

Why does 겋 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.
