What 웖 means

It is one written syllable, usually part of a Korean word. Alone, 웖 gives too little context to identify a word.

King Sejong devised Hangul in 1443 to make Korean easier to learn and write. Before then, Korean writing relied on Chinese characters. The script was first called Hunminjeongeum; a book of that name explained its purpose and principles in 1446.

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
