U+1141 "ᅁ" Hangul Choseong Ieung-Kiyeok Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1141 "ᅁ" Hangul Choseong Ieung-Kiyeok is a rare and historical Jamo component of the Korean Hangul writing system, representing a complex initial consonant cluster that combines a silent placeholder (ieung) with the letter kiyeok, which corresponds to the sound /g/. This character was part of the original Hangul orthography designed for writing Middle Korean but is no longer used in modern standard Korean, as its phonetic cluster has become obsolete. It is encoded in the Unicode Hangul Jamo block to support historical and scholarly texts, preserving the typographic representation of archaic syllable onsets.
