Reading
finally, after all, at last
다할 경dahal gyeong
Every hanja has a two-part name in Korean: what it means, then how it's read. Here 다할 (dahal) is the Korean for finally, and 경 (gyeong) is the reading. Say 다할 경 out loud and a Korean speaker knows which character you mean.

Same sound, different character
15 characters are all read 경 (gyeong).
Korean has far more hanja than it has syllables, so one sound covers many characters. Write 경 in hangul and it could be any of these — the hanja is what says which one you mean. That is why hanja still turn up in dictionaries, newspaper headlines and legal writing, where guessing from context is not good enough.
All of them are written 경 in hangul.
