What 셕 means
On the standard two-set Korean layout, enter ㅅ, ㅕ, then ㄱ. On a US QWERTY keyboard, those keys are T, U, and R. A Korean input method combines the consonant, vowel, and final consonant into one Hangul syllable. If it leaves separate jamo (individual Hangul letters), enable Korean syllable composition.
What does 셕 mean in Middle Korean?
There is no single meaning apart from the word and historical form. 촌가구급방, a practical medical handbook for rural readers, was first issued in 1538; a surviving 1572 reprint writes 디남셕 for 지남석, a magnetic stone used to find direction. Here 셕 is part of an older word spelling.
A Middle Korean word list records two readings for the related block 셗—“rein” and “duty or role”—distinguished by tone, or pitch. The standalone historical forms use 셕 with marks showing pitch; these readings do not give bare 셕 a fixed meaning.
Neutral in Korean historical or linguistic citations; without its word or source, the reading is opaque.
Keep its word or historical citation in view; bare 셕 is easy to misread.

Questions people ask
2Why does 셕 look different in another font?
Fonts may draw the same Hangul syllable with different shapes; if both strings are 셕, the encoded character is the same.
Does 셕 mean lodestone?
No. 디남셕 is an older spelling of 지남석, the word for a magnetic stone used to find direction; 셕 alone does not mean “lodestone.”
