Hangul Syllable Swaelh

쇓 is a Hangul syllable block assembled from the letters ᄉ, ᅫ and ᆶ; its Unicode name, “swaelh,” names those parts rather than translating a word. As of 2026, no standalone word or chat meaning is established for it. Hangul was created in 1443 to write Korean; a book explaining it was published in 1446. It became Korea's national script in 1894; Japanese rule ended that status in 1910.

Questions people ask

Why does 쇓 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.
