What 꼳 means
It shows 꽃’s sound, not the standard spelling of “flower.”
At the end of a phrase, 꽃 (“flower”) is pronounced with a t-like final sound. Korean keeps ㅊ as the word’s last letter even when it sounds that way, so the spelling stays 꽃. A pronunciation explanation can use 꼳 to show the spoken ending; it does not replace the word.
Hangul was completed in 1443 and promulgated in 1446 to widen access to writing Korean beyond people trained in Chinese characters. Its consonants and vowels combine into blocks, one for each syllable; 꼳 follows that structure.
In ordinary Korean text, 꼳 can look like a misspelling of 꽃; in a pronunciation note, it marks the spoken ending.
For “flower,” write 꽃; 꼳 changes the spelling.
