Text symbol

What 잘 means

It describes how an action happens or turns out. The verb supplies the specific sense.

Hangul, the Korean writing system, was devised in 1443 to make writing accessible; its purpose and principles were published in 1446. 잘 combines three Korean letters: ㅈ opens it, ㅏ is its vowel, and ㄹ closes it.

Neutral and everyday; the phrase sets tone and politeness.

“Good” alone is too broad; read the whole phrase.

Why does 잘 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.
