Text symbol

What 쭧 means

It is one written Korean syllable, built from Hangul letters.

Hangul groups individual letters into one block: an initial consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant. 쭧 combines ㅉ, ㅝ and final ㄳ.

A single block gives too little context to infer a sender’s intent. Read it within the Korean word around it, or ask what text it belongs to.

Why does Hangul use syllable blocks?

Hangul was devised in fifteenth-century Korea to make Korean easier to write and learn; its letters are arranged into syllable blocks. The creation of Hangul is first recorded in 1443.

The 1446 Hunminjeongeum, a book that introduced the script, explains how initial, vowel and final parts combine within a block.

Why does 쭧 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.
