Text symbol

What 쓘 means

It is a Hangul syllable block made from three jamo. Its initial consonant is ㅆ, its vowel is ㅠ, and its final consonant is ㄴ. The corresponding Unicode jamo are ᄊ, ᅲ, and ᆫ. Its Korean sound is roughly “ssyun”: a tense s, the vowel sound in “you,” then n. With a Korean 2-set keyboard, type ShiftT, then B, then S.

Hangul was completed in 1443 and explained in Hunminjeongeum, an explanatory book published in 1446. It gave Korean writers an alphabet designed to represent Korean sounds directly; earlier writing often relied on Chinese characters, which did not map neatly onto Korean.

A Hangul font arranges the component letters into a square syllable cell, so the outline can vary by font while the text character stays the same.

This is Korean writing: read it as a syllable in the Korean word or name that contains it.

Why does 쓘 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.
