hangul syllable jek

Hangul syllable Jek

7221/11172

젴 is a Korean Hangul syllable block: its start is like the “j” in “jam,” its vowel like the “e” in “bed,” and its final ㅋ ends without an audible release. Alone, it does not identify a particular word; its meaning depends on the Korean spelling around it.

Text symbol

What 젴 means

It forms one Korean syllable; context supplies its word meaning. The block combines ㅈ as its initial consonant, ㅔ as its vowel, and ㅋ as its final consonant. At a syllable’s end, ㅋ closes the sound like k without an audible release.

Hangul was devised to write Korean by assembling consonant and vowel letters into syllable blocks. The script is documented from 1443 and its design is explained in the 1446 book Hunminjeongeum. Other names for the writing system include eonmun, gukmun, gukseo, and Hangeul; they name the script, not a special meaning of 젴.

Why does 젴 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.
