What 긑 means
It marks “end” in older Korean writing.
Modern Korean uses 끝; 긑 reads as historical unless you deliberately want an old-fashioned effect.
why is 긑 in old Korean texts?
Hangul was designed to make Korean easier to write than Chinese characters.
In the 1447 Korean text Seokbo sangjeol, the related form 그티 explains 末, a Chinese character meaning “end.”
Historical and scholarly; out of place in routine modern Korean.
For the modern Korean word “end,” write 끝.
