What 삿 means
A woven mat made from reeds.
In everyday Korean, 삿자리 is the clearer name for the mat. A historical study traces bare 삿 being displaced by 삿자리, though dictionaries still list 삿 as a reed mat (as of 2026).
How did 삿 change over time?
Its form and the mat’s materials changed.
A study traces earlier forms, transcribed in Latin letters as satk, sath, and sas, alongside changing mat materials. 삿갓 derives from 삿자리; 삿무늬토기 is pottery with a mat-like pattern.
Bare 삿 reads as old vocabulary; 삿자리 names the mat more clearly.

1Why does 삿 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.
