hangul syllable run

Hangul syllable run

3309/11172

룬 is Korean for “rune,” pronounced in one syllable with an “oo” like the vowel in “moon.” In Korean, it can mean historical runic writing, a fantasy rune mark, or a game effect; the surrounding sentence tells you which.

Text symbol

What 룬 means

룬 is Korean text for “rune.” Hangul arranges a starting consonant, a vowel, and sometimes an ending consonant into a block; 룬 is one such syllable, not a runic letter.

Runic letters had straight strokes suited to carving on wood and other objects; some inscriptions marked owners or makers. A runic inscription on the Vimose comb is dated around 160 CE. In Old English, an early form of English, riddles also used runes as cryptic clues.

Why does 룬 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.
