What 콹 means
Read 콹 as a syllable in Korean spelling.
The meaning of 콹 comes from the word it belongs to. Its parts are initial consonant ㅋ, vowel ㅘ, and final cluster ㄺ. Unicode's label “kwalg” is built from the components' short names; it describes this structure, not a Korean word's translation.
The first record of Hangul dates to 1443, when King Sejong introduced letters for writing Korean more directly and making literacy easier. The explanatory book 훈민정음, literally “Correct Sounds for Instructing the People,” was published in 1446 and explains the system's purpose and design. This is the history of Hangul as a whole; 콹 is one syllable assembled from its letters.
