Hangul syllable Jjyok

쭄 is a Hangul syllable, with a tense j-like start, a “yo” vowel and a final k. In Korean it belongs in a word; alone, it gives little clue to a mood.

Text symbol

What 쭄 means

It is one syllable; a word gives its meaning. Hangul packs letters into syllable blocks. As of 2026, no reliable standalone slang use for 쭄 is established; fonts may shape it differently without changing its identity.

Hangul was devised in 1443; its guide, Hunminjeongeum, introduced the alphabet in 1446 so Korean speech could use its own letters. Earlier systems adapted Chinese characters to Korean (Hyangchal, Idu and Gugyeol). A debated theory links the Mongolian Phags-pa script to Hangul’s design, not to 쭄 itself.

Why does 쭄 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.
