What 리 means
Read the phrase, not just the block. In 그럴 리가 없어, “there’s no way,” 리 means reason or possibility and needs preceding words. In addresses, it marks a village; sentence-final -리 sounds literary.
Hangul, Korea’s alphabet, was created in 1443 and explained in 1446 as a system for writing Korean speech.

Questions people ask
1Why does 리 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.
