Text symbol

What 괗 means

It combines the names of the syllable’s parts. Unicode decomposes 괗 into three Korean letters called jamo: ᄀ, the initial consonant; ᅪ, the vowel; and ᇂ, the final consonant. The Unicode label “GWAH” joins the jamo’s short names in order; it is a construction label, not a pronunciation guide.

When did Hangul begin?

The earliest record dates to 1443. Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining the writing system, appeared in 1446. Hangul was designed to write Korean; earlier systems such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal used Chinese characters to represent Korean. It spread through Buddhist, Confucian, and practical texts before official adoption in 1894.
