What 셔 means
Alone, 셔 is incomplete; the surrounding word gives it meaning. In 가셔요, 셔 contracts 시어: -시- honors the person going, while final 요 makes the sentence polite to the listener. As of 2026, Korean language guidance treats 가셔요 and 가세요 as equivalent in meaning.
Copied in Silla, a Korean kingdom, around 740, a manuscript records an older grammatical ending corresponding to 셔, not this later block. Hangul was devised for Korean speech after Chinese characters and adapted forms had been used to write Korean. The alphabet was completed in 1443 and introduced in Hunminjeongeum, a guide published in 1446. Text systems may represent 셔 as 셔, with its consonant and vowel separated.

Questions people ask
1Why does 셔 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.
