hangul syllable keul

Hangul syllable 클

9333/11172

클 has no fixed meaning by itself; Korean grammar gives it a role. It is a form of 크다 (“to be big”) in 클 수 있다 (“can be big”).

Text symbol

What 클 means

Its meaning comes from the Korean around it.

In 클 수 있다, 크다 (“to be big”) changes to 클 before 수 있다 (“can”). The phrase means “can be big”; 클 alone is not a standalone word for “big.”

Hangul’s compact syllable blocks sit alongside Chinese characters in Korean text. Hangul was devised in 1443 and formally promulgated in 1446 so people who had not learned Chinese characters could write Korean more directly.

Why does 클 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.
