hangul syllable ggyeolb

Hangul Syllable Ggyeolb

768/11172

껿 is a Korean Hangul syllable block; by itself, it does not tell you a complete message. Its parts are ㄲ, ㅕ, and ㄼ, and the surrounding word supplies the meaning. Hangul fonts may arrange those parts differently without changing the character.

Text symbol

What 껿 means

It writes a Korean syllable; its word supplies the meaning.

Its component breakdown is ㄲ ㅕ ㄼ: an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant pair. That bottom pair belongs to the syllable's spelling. On its own, 껿 is too little context to interpret as a complete message.

Where did 껿 come from?

Hangul's creation was recorded in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a guide introducing the script, was published in 1446. Hangul made it possible to write Korean directly rather than fitting it through Chinese characters, and combines consonant and vowel jamo (letters) into compact syllable blocks.

Older Korean text can represent syllables with separate conjoining jamo; 껿 is a precomposed modern block. Its direct structural relatives are Hangul letters and other syllable blocks.

Neutral inside Korean writing; a lone 껿 needs a surrounding word to make sense.

Treat 껿 alone as incomplete context, not a full message.

Why does 껿 look different in another font?

Yes, it can. Hangul fonts vary the size and placement of jamo inside the square syllable cell; the encoded character stays the same.
