괘 has no single meaning alone; its Korean word decides. 팔괘 and 육십사괘 use 卦 for I Ching divination figures; other words use the same syllable for different Hanja roots.

What 괘 means

Read the full word before translating 괘. Hangul is Korea’s alphabet; Hanja are Chinese characters used in Korean words.

The I Ching’s earliest known manuscript evidence dates to around 300 BCE. Hangul was created in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the script, explained it in 1446. During the Joseon period, scholars also used hexagrams as moral and educational guides.

Why is 괘 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
