Text symbol

What 퀀 means

It has no fixed meaning alone; it is one Korean syllable.

Hangul builds syllables from consonants and vowels: 퀀 combines ㅋ, vowel ㅝ and final ㄴ. It was designed for Korean speech, whose sounds Chinese characters did not represent neatly. The Hunminjeongeum text introducing it is dated 1443; its explanatory book followed in 1446.

Neutral inside Korean words; alone, it reads as an unfinished fragment.
