Text symbol

What 콜 means

It means “okay,” “I’m in,” or “deal.”

Korean borrowed 콜 from English “call.” In poker, 콜 means matching an opponent’s bet; in casual Korean, it can also accept a suggestion.

In Korea’s designated-driver services—a hired driver takes you home in your own car—콜 can also mean the customer’s job request. A 2023 industry report describes those requests being sent through dispatch programs to drivers.

Casual agreement; 2021 Korean usage guidance marks 콜 unsuitable for formal settings or older addressees.

With a boss or someone older, save it for an exchange that is clearly casual.

Why does 콜 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.
