What 긓 means
It is one Hangul syllable block made from three letters. Hangul arranges ᄀ as the leading consonant, ᅳ as the vowel, and ᇂ as the final consonant in that block.
King Sejong introduced Hangul in 1443; the book Hunminjeongeum, which explained the script and its principles, appeared in 1446. Before Hangul, Korean writing used Chinese characters (Hanja), along with systems that adapted them to Korean, including Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal.
Hangul became Korea's official national writing system in 1894. It lost that status after Japan annexed Korea in 1910.
Someone sent me 긓—what is it?
As of 2026, it has no settled standalone chat meaning. The National Institute of Korean Language's 2020 vocabulary analysis uses 긓 as a verb stem—the base to which endings attach—when analyzing informal forms such as 그치 (“right?”) and 그찮아 (“you know it's like that”). That is linguistic shorthand, not an everyday standalone spelling.

Questions people ask
1Why does 긓 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.
