Text symbol

What 컕 means

Its Unicode breakdown is ᄏ ᅤ ᆴ. These are its initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant cluster.

In familiar separated-letter forms, the same parts are ㅋ, ㅒ, and ㄾ.

Why are Hangul syllables written in blocks?

Hangul groups its letters into square syllable blocks. King Sejong devised the Korean writing system in 1443 to make reading and writing more accessible. A guide published in 1446 explained its purpose and principles.

Unicode represents modern Hangul syllables either as one precomposed block or as a sequence of component jamo. 컕 belongs to that complete modern set.

Why does 컕 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.
