U+115A "ᅚ" Hangul Choseong Kiyeok-Tikeut Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᅚ
U+115A "ᅚ" Hangul Choseong Kiyeok-Tikeut is a rarely used initial consonant cluster in the Korean writing system, representing a combination of the sounds for "g" (kiyeok) and "d" (tikeut) at the beginning of a syllable. This composite character belongs to the Hangul Compatibility Jamo block, though it is obsolete in modern standard Korean, having been used primarily in historical texts or phonetic transcription. As a choseong or initial sound, it was designed to represent a complex onset that blended the pronunciations of these two consonants before a vowel, but its practical application has largely faded from contemporary language use.
