What 훏 means
The Korean word containing it supplies its meaning. The block joins ㅎ, an initial consonant, ㅜ, a vowel, and ㄼ, a two-consonant ending. These are Hangul letters arranged as one syllable; “Hulb” labels the parts, not a translation.
Hangul was designed to represent Korean directly, with letters grouped into syllables. The first record of the script dates to 1443; an explanatory book called 훈민정음 appeared in 1446. Historically, Korean names for the script included 정음, 언문, 반절, 국문 and 국서. As of 2026, South Korea calls it 한글 and North Korea calls it 조선글.
How do I type 훏?
Enter the Hangul letters in order with a Korean IME. Type ㅎ, ㅜ, ㄹ, then ㅂ; the IME joins final ㄹ and ㅂ as ㄼ to make 훏.
Some programs store it in decomposed Unicode form, NFD: 훏, three Hangul parts instead of one precomposed block. It is the same syllable. Font design affects where the parts sit; if they appear unjoined, the font or text software may not support Hangul composition.

1Why does 훏 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.
