What 탭 means
Korean uses 탭 for both “tab” and “tap.” 새 탭 names a browser tab; 탭하다 describes touching a screen. The surrounding phrase settles which meaning is intended.
Hangul was devised in the 15th century to write Korean speech. Its letters are arranged into syllable blocks, a structure still visible in 탭.
A neutral technical loanword; alone, it can read like a clipped label.

Questions people ask
1Why does 탭 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.
