Hangul Syllable Nweo

1569/11172

눠 is the contracted form of 누어, from the Korean verb 누다, meaning “to urinate or defecate.” By itself, it does not show whether it is a statement or an instruction. 누워 means “lie down.”

Text symbol

What 눠 means

It refers to urinating or defecating; the sentence shows its role.

누다 takes the ending -어 to make 누어, which contracts to 눠. Surrounding words show whether it is a statement, question, or instruction.

Hangul blocks combine consonants and vowels: 눠 begins with ㄴ and uses vowel ㅝ . Hangul was devised under King Sejong in 1443; its guidebook, Hunminjeongeum, appeared in 1446.

A plain Korean verb form; it names a bodily function directly.

Don't confuse it with 누워, which means “lie down.”

Why does 눠 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.
