Hangul Syllable Ras

랏 is a Korean syllable, not a complete word; its role comes from the surrounding text. If it arrives alone, ask which Korean word or sentence it belongs to.

What 랏 means

It needs the rest of the word. Alone, 랏 is one Korean syllable; the surrounding word gives it a role.

In the 15th-century Hunminjeongeum preface, the text that introduced Hangeul, 랏 appears in 나랏말, “the country's speech.” Hangeul made Korean writing more accessible than relying on Chinese characters used in scholarly writing. The older Korean word 랏 named foxtail and related grasses; later forms include 가랏 and 가라지. By the 19th century, the Korean name 강아지풀 for foxtail grass had replaced those older forms.

The Unicode text standard can store 랏 as one Hangul block or as its equivalent letter parts, ᄅ + ᅡ + ᆺ. Fonts arrange them into a square, with visible details that can vary.

Why does 랏 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.
