Text symbol

What 렌 means

Its role depends on the Korean text around it. 렌 is one Hangul syllable, assembled from consonant and vowel letters.

Hangeul, Korea's writing system, was developed under Korean ruler King Sejong to write Korean; its creation and formal introduction are conventionally dated to 1443 and 1446.

North Korean sports use 렌 for a lane or course; South Korean writing uses 레인. The 1937 prose collection 렌의 애가 names a character 렌.

Why does 렌 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.
