Hangul Syllable Sswes

6320/11172

By itself, 쒯 does not tell you a word's meaning: it writes one Korean syllable in a Hangul block. In a Korean word, the surrounding syllables provide the meaning. A Korean input method can assemble it from ㅆ, ㅞ and ㅅ.

Text symbol

What 쒯 means

By itself, 쒯 has no word meaning; it spells one Korean syllable.

In the Hangul block, ㅆ is the starting consonant, ㅞ the vowel, and ㅅ the ending consonant. Those parts show how to spell the syllable; a Korean word containing it supplies the word's meaning.

The 28 Hangul letters were devised under King Sejong in 1443 to make Korean easier to write than with Chinese characters; an explanatory book, Hunminjeongeum, appeared in 1446. Earlier systems such as Idu, Gugyeol and Hyangchal used Chinese characters to write Korean. Hangul later spread through Buddhist and Confucian books, letters, novels and practical print, then became Korea's official writing system in 1894.

Someone sent me 쒯—what does it mean?

On its own, it gives you no message to decode.

Inside a Korean word, it spells one syllable and the word around it carries the meaning. If someone sends only this block, ask what word or spelling they intended; the character alone does not tell you their intent.

Neutral inside Korean writing; opaque to readers who do not read Hangul when it arrives alone.

Don't assign it a message by itself; ask for the full word.

Why can 쒯 look different in different fonts?

Hangul blocks are drawn by the selected font, so their proportions can vary. A font without this Hangul glyph may show a missing-character box; that changes the display, not the character.

Why is 쒯 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
