hangul syllable gwaet

Hangul syllable Gwaet

306/11172

괱 is a Korean Hangul syllable block: it represents one syllable of sound, while surrounding Korean text supplies the word’s meaning. A Korean 2-set keyboard, called Dubeolsik, with separate consonant and vowel keys, builds it from ㄱ, ㅙ, and final ㅌ.

Text symbol

What 괱 means

It is one Korean syllable, not a complete message by itself.

It combines ㄱ (the first consonant), ㅙ (the vowel), and final ㅌ into one syllable; surrounding Korean text supplies any word meaning. On a Korean 2-set keyboard, r h o x enters its components.

How do I type 괱?

Use a Korean 2-set keyboard: r h o x.

The keys enter ㄱ (r), ㅗ (h), ㅐ (o), then ㅌ (x); the input method combines ㅗㅐ as ㅙ. If a vowel follows, it may move final ㅌ to the next syllable.

Hangul builds these blocks from component letters called jamo. In the joined-block forms, 괱 is ᄀ ᅫ ᇀ. Different fonts may vary their spacing, size, and stroke shapes without changing the character.

How does 괱 fit into Hangul’s history?

Hangul groups consonant and vowel letters into syllable blocks.

Hangul was designed to write Korean speech directly with an alphabet, since Korean speech differed from the Chinese writing tradition used at the time. The royal annals Sejong Sillok date its creation to 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the new letters, was published in 1446. Modern Korean spelling drew on a 1933 draft and was partly revised in 1988.

Neutral as a Hangul syllable in Korean writing; its word meaning depends on surrounding text.

Alone, 괱 gives you one syllable but not enough context to infer a sender’s message.

Why does 괱 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.
