Text symbol

What 꽉 means

It means “tightly” or “completely,” depending on the verb.

“꽉 잡아” means “hold tight”; “상자가 꽉 찼어” means “the box is packed full.” The same adverb describes a firm grip or something filled to capacity.

Hangul, the Korean writing system, was designed for Korean sounds and wider literacy. Its creation is dated to 1443; its guide, Hunminjeongeum, was completed in 1446. The letters ㄲ, ㅘ and ㄱ form this single syllable block, whose component shapes can vary by font.

Why does 꽉 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.
