쿼

hangul syllable kweo

Hangul syllable kweo

9213/11172

By itself, 쿼 is one Korean syllable, so the surrounding word gives its meaning. It begins 쿼크, the Korean spelling of “quark,” an elementary particle. Hangul was devised in 1443 as an accessible way to write Korean; the 1446 Hunminjeongeum is a guide to the script.

Text symbol

What 쿼 means

It combines ㅋ and ㅝ into one syllable block. Hangul groups consonant and vowel letters into blocks, one per syllable. The component letters are called jamo: ㅋ is the consonant and ㅝ the compound vowel.

The Korean word 쿼크 (“quark”) has two blocks, 쿼 and 크; this is its first syllable. Input methods may join typed jamo into blocks, while text processing can expose the sequence instead. That is a representation difference, not a new meaning.

Why is 쿼 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
