Text symbol

What 셌 means

It marks a past form of 세다.

The word around it decides the sense: counting, strength, or graying hair. Full 세었다 and 세었어요 routinely contract to 셌다 past form and 셌어요.

Ordinary grammatical Korean text, not an emoji reaction.

Alone, ask for the surrounding word; one guess can mislead you.
