Hangul Syllable Num

눔 is a Korean syllable block that sounds like “num,” not an emoji or a word on its own. Read it inside its Korean word or name, such as 나눔, meaning sharing, in the Nanum fonts. Copy it from the palette above when you need the exact character.

Text symbol

What 눔 means

Read the whole Korean word around it. You meet 눔 inside 나눔, meaning sharing, in the font names 나눔고딕 and 나눔명조. The same block also writes the Korean spelling of the diet app Noom, so that use is a name, not a definition.

눔 stacks three Korean letters: ㄴ plus ㅜ plus ㅁ. Hearing “num” is ambiguous because 눕는 can sound like num even though it is spelled with ㅂ, so check the spelling before you copy or search.

Questions people ask

Why does 눔 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.
