Hangul syllable Gwek

It is one syllable block, not a word by itself.

Hangul is the alphabetic writing system used to write Korean. Its smaller letters, called jamo, combine into syllable blocks: ᄀ begins 궼, ᅰ is its middle vowel, and ᆿ is its final consonant.

Hangul was devised in 1443 to make writing accessible to people without Chinese-character education. A unified draft of modern Korean spelling rules appeared in 1933 and was revised in 1988; those dates describe the writing system, not 궼’s own history. Unicode 12.1 notes that fonts can position the jamo differently inside the syllable cell. Unicode normalization can also represent one precomposed block as its jamo sequence.
