Hangul syllable 캉

8842/11172

캉 is one Korean Hangul syllable; on its own, it gives a sound rather than a specific word. In Korean writing, the word around it supplies the meaning; its reading is roughly “kang,” with a breathy k and a nasal ending made at the back of the mouth.

Text symbol

What 캉 means

By itself, 캉 is a syllable, not a complete word. Korean text uses it within words, whose context supplies the meaning.

Hangul was created for Korean: its creation was recorded in 1443, and Hunminjeongeum, the book explaining the system, appeared in 1446. 캉 joins ㅋ, ㅏ and ㅇ. It can be encoded as one block or component jamo, spaced differently across fonts.

Neutral as a syllable; its Korean word supplies the tone.

Why does 캉 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.
