Hangul syllable kyaek

8929/11172

컠 is one Korean syllable block in Hangul, the Korean alphabet. It writes a syllable sound; its role in a word depends on neighboring syllables. King Sejong devised Hangul in 1443; the alphabet was first called Hunminjeongeum.

Text symbol

What 컠 means

Three Hangul letters combine into one syllable block.

Unicode decomposes it as ᄏ ᅤ ᆿ: Hangul’s individual letters, or jamo, for the initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant. Their compatibility forms are ㅋ ㅒ ㅋ.

Why was Hangul created?

To help people write Korean speech.

Before Hangul, Chinese characters were used to write Korean but did not fit its sounds well. The 1446 guidebook Hunminjeongeum (훈민정음, “Correct Sounds for the Instruction of the People”) explained the alphabet and its design.

Why does 컠 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.
