Hangul Syllable Guj

387/11172

궂 is a Korean syllable whose meaning comes from the word around it, not an emoji-style reaction. You meet it in 궂다 for bad weather or an unpleasant situation; its documented history reaches back to Middle Korean.

Text symbol

What 궂 means

A Korean syllable, not an emoji meaning.

Read it inside its word: 궂다 covers gloomy 궂은비 weather or a bad turn, 심술궂다 means spiteful, and 험상궂다 means menacing-looking. On a Korean keyboard you type ㄱ ㅜ final ㅈ and they snap into 궂.

궂다 is first attested in the 1447 Seokbo sangjeol. Hangul's 1443 creation and 1446 explanation made Korean writable without borrowing Chinese characters, so blocks like 궂 are far older than their 1996 Unicode encoding.

Ordinary Korean spelling inside words, not an expressive pictograph.
