Thanks. I tried that after I didn’t get what I wanted, as my last comment explains, though as I wrote, I didn’t have time to read the explanations I found.

I didn’t know Oranckay was old or important enough to have been the subject of Chosn-era foreign policy, however!

????????? [???????????] - A Chosun era foreign policy founded on Confucian principles of duty that refers to respecting China and expelling the Oranckays.

If you’re not getting the results you want looking up the characters one at a time in a hanja dictionary try an encyclopedia or just an Internet search.

Another possibility is that you meant ????????? ????????? ???? ??? ??????: “Bright, dizzy, and tall foreigner” (translating ????? and ????? as “tall” and “bright” and retranslating into Korean accordingly), or ?????????? ??????? ????????? ??????????: “If the wine goblet is bright, it will repel barbarians,” the sort of line the writer of a bad Hollywood martial arts film might attribute to one of its characters.

(?????? readings courtesy of Naver):
?? ?????? ?, ?????? ??
??? ?????? ??
? ???????? ??, ?????????? ??
? ?????? ??

Okay, so it’s not a phonetic rendering of anything (?/???????, etc. doesn’t sound like “Marmot”), and I notice that ???? (??) means “exclusion (expulsion) of foreigners.”

So a translation might be: ???? ???????? ???? (”High and bright exclusion of foreigners”) or perhaps ?????? ?????? ??????? ????? (”Exclusion of foreigners as bright as a wine cup”).

????? ??????? ???????????????????.

Kushibo: Your sophisticated humour just went right over my head.

Maybe you can offer the option of changing the theme each day, Marmot.
