What 쓲 means
쓲 is the hangul syllable sseugg. Unicode classifies it as a letter and files it in the Hangul Syllables block; this site shelves it under Chinese, Japanese & Korean.
Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.
How it is encoded
쓲 is a single code point, U+C4F2. In HTML that is 쓲, and in CSS \C4F2.
Worth knowing
- King Sejong developed Hangul in 1443 to make Korean easier to write than with Chinese characters. The alphabet and its 1446 explanatory book shared the name Hunminjeongeum (“Correct Sounds to Teach the People”).
- Before 1894, Hangul was also called eonmun (“vernacular writing”), while literary Chinese held official prestige. A 1894 decree made Korean the basis of official documents but allowed mixed Korean-Chinese writing.
Questions people ask
1Why does 쓲 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.
