Hangul syllable Jwal

좔 is a Korean Hangul syllable usually seen doubled as 좔좔, a sound word for liquid or sweat streaming in a strong, steady gush. With a speech verb, the same word can suggest details pouring out fast. On its own, 좔 tends to feel like a fragment rather than a complete reaction.

What 좔 means

좔 usually belongs to the repeated sound word 좔좔. The meaning of 좔좔 is a forceful, continuous outflow: water or sweat streaming from somewhere. Paired with a verb for speaking, it can picture details spilling out in a rush.

좔 is one block from Hangul, the Korean alphabet. Hangul was created in 1443 and officially introduced in 1446 to make Korean easier to write than with Chinese characters. The block combines the initial consonant ㅈ, vowel ㅘ and final consonant ㄹ.

The syllable is neutral; its vivid, gushing effect comes from repetition in 좔좔.

좔 alone can feel like a clipped fragment; the expressive form is usually 좔좔 or a fuller Korean phrase.

Why does 좔 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.
