What 궤 means
궤 is the chest noun on its own and the first syllable of 궤도.
The block joins consonant ㄱ and vowel ㅞ. Hangeul, the Korean alphabet, was devised in 1443; an explanatory book appeared in 1446.
The chest word uses 櫃; 궤도 is 軌道. Hanja are Chinese characters used in Korean. A Seoul History Museum catalog lists 궤 chests from the 19th century.
