hangul syllable teom

Hangul syllable 텀

9537/11172

텀 is Korean for an interval, most clearly the wait between replies. Sent on its own, it does not tell you how the sender feels.

Text symbol

What 텀 means

텀 means a gap or interval. In Korean, 답장 텀 names the time between replies; 텀을 두다 means to leave an interval.

Hangul groups Korean letters in blocks: a starting consonant, a vowel, and sometimes an ending consonant. The writing system was created in 1443; its explanatory book, 훈민정음, appeared in 1446. 텀 combines ㅌ, ㅓ, then ㅁ.

Neutral Korean wording; unclear without context.

Alone, 텀 does not reveal a sender's reaction.

Why does 텀 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.
