What 눈 means
Nearby words identify the sense.
It also names a scale mark, mesh opening, Go-board point, or plant bud. 눈물 means “tears”; 눈꽃 is snow-related, while 꽃눈 means “flower bud.”
The word is recorded in 1103; this Hangul spelling appears in 1447. Hangul was devised in 1443 and explained in the 1446 guide Hunminjeongeum, intended to make Korean easier to write than relying on Chinese characters. In sijo, a Korean lyric form, snow could suggest purity or hardship; a 2022 study discusses both readings.

Questions people ask
1Why does 눈 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.
