Text symbol

What 꼠 means

It contributes one syllable to a Korean word or name.

A block is visually complete, but Korean words can contain several; read its sense from the full word or name.

What are the parts of 꼠?

One initial consonant, one vowel, and one final consonant form the block.

Unicode decomposes 꼠 into three conjoining jamo: ᄁ (initial), ᅨ (vowel), and ᆷ (final). Jamo are Hangul's component letters. Fonts may arrange them differently without changing the character.

When was Hangul designed?

Hangul's design was recorded in 1443 and its principles published in 1446.

Its letters offered Korean speakers a writing system easier to learn than Chinese characters. Hangul blocks combine smaller letters called jamo, and 꼠 follows that pattern.

Why does 꼠 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.
