Hangul syllable gweolh

궗 is a Hangul syllable, not an emoji.

The Unicode label gweolh describes the syllable's parts; it is not a Korean word to translate. The meaning comes from the Korean word around it.

궗 combines initial ㄱ, vowel ㅝ, and final consonant cluster ㅀ. As of 2026, it has no established standalone ritual, political, or internet meaning; on its own, read it as Korean text, not a reaction.

Why does 궗 exist?

It belongs to Hangul's syllable-block writing system. In 1443–1446, the Korean alphabet was designed and introduced under King Sejong in a text called Hunminjeongeum. Its practical purpose was to make Korean easier to write than with Chinese characters. Hangul letters, called jamo, are arranged into syllable blocks.

궗 is a regular syllable in that system, not a one-off emblem with its own invention story. Digital text can represent it as one precomposed block or as its equivalent sequence of jamo; both forms represent the same syllable.

How do I type 궗?

Use a Korean input method with ㄱ + ㅝ + ㅀ. An input method editor (IME) combines typed Hangul letters; the exact keystrokes depend on the layout.

The precomposed block and its equivalent jamo sequence are two text representations of the same syllable. If an app leaves the parts separate, that is an input or shaping issue, not a different reading.

The visible shape is drawn by a font, so proportions and component placement can vary. A change in appearance does not change the character.
