Text symbol

What 션 means

Meaning comes from the surrounding Korean word.

In 로션 (“lotion”) and 펜션 (“guesthouse”), 션 is the last syllable; each complete word has its own meaning.

Hangul's creation is dated to 1443, and the Hunminjeongeum, a text explaining the script, dates to 1446. It presented Hangul as an easier way to write Korean than methods based on Chinese characters.

Neutral as a spelling unit; the containing word sets its tone.

Alone, 션 can look like a word cut off halfway.
