What 캃 means
It is a historical spelling of 칼, the Korean word for “knife.”
A Korean text printed from the Bohyeonsa temple’s carved wooden blocks in the 1710s writes 캃 for 칼. Hangul combines small letters called jamo into syllable blocks; here, the final ㅎ belongs to this historical form.
What if someone sends you 캃?
Ask the sender; this character alone does not explain their intent.
As of 2026, no stable everyday chat meaning for 캃 is established.
In a historical Korean text, it marks a spelling choice, not a message tone.
A lone 캃 gives no reliable clue to the sender’s intent.

1Why does 캃 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.
