Hangul Syllable Ggup

979/11172

꿒 is a Hangul syllable block: its parts tell you how to read the syllable, not the meaning of a whole Korean word. Hangul groups small letters called jamo into square blocks; a Korean input method can assemble this one from its three parts.

Text symbol

What 꿒 means

It gives a Korean syllable; word meaning depends on context. Hangul is the writing system used for Korean. It builds square syllable blocks from letters called jamo; 꿒 combines initial ᄁ, vowel ᅮ, and final ᇁ. Together they give a tense k, the vowel u (roughly “oo” in “food”), and a final p made by closing the lips without releasing it. Unicode’s name “Ggup” is generated from these parts, not translated from a Korean word.

Before Hangul, Korean was written with Chinese characters and systems such as Idu, which adapted those characters to represent Korean speech and grammar. In 1443, King Sejong’s court created Hangul as a more direct way to write Korean; in 1446, the 훈민정음 해례본 (Hunminjeongeum Haerye), an explanatory book about the alphabet, described its design. Some literati opposed the new script at first; it later became the principal script for Korean. Those dates mark the writing system’s history.

Why does 꿒 look different in different fonts?

The text stays the same; the font changes the drawing.

Each font chooses the exact shape, size, and placement of the Hangul parts inside the square. Those design choices can make 꿒 look different without changing its character sequence.

Neutral as a Hangul character; its contribution to a word comes from the Korean text around it.
