What 졈 means
It begins 졈다, the historical Korean verb for “to be young.”
The old Korean word 졈다 is attested in the 15th century; a cited example appears in 석보상절 (1447), a Korean Buddhist text. The spelling path runs 졈다 졂다 젊다, with variants recorded across the 18th and 19th centuries. Middle Korean, an earlier stage of Korean, used 졈다 for “young” or “underage”; modern 젊다 describes being young or in one’s prime. Read 졈 as part of that historical word.
Historical Korean spelling; use 젊다 for the present-day word meaning “young.”
For modern Korean “young,” use 젊다, not 졈.

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
