What 꼾 means
꼾 is one sound-bearing block in Korean writing.
Hangul was created in 1443 for writing Korean; Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the writing system, was published in 1446.
At a word end or before a consonant, the final ㅄ cluster sounds like a clipped p; before a vowel, its s component starts the next syllable. The component letters (jamo) are ᄁ + ᅩ + ᆹ; fonts may position them differently without changing 꼾.
Questions people ask
1Why does 꼾 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.
