U+11BF "ᆿ" Hangul Jongseong Khieukh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+11BF "ᆿ" Hangul Jongseong Khieukh is a final consonant or jongseong component in the Hangul writing system, representing the sound equivalent to a final 'k' in Korean syllables. It is the syllable-final form of the initial consonant ᄏ (Khieukh), which itself is the aspirated velar plosive, akin to the 'k' sound in English "kite" with a strong burst of air. This jongseong appears exclusively at the bottom of a Hangul syllable block, modifying the pronunciation of the entire syllable by closing it with a sharp, unreleased 'k' sound. Its use is essential for properly spelling Korean words, as it distinguishes meaning and pronunciation in written Korean, and it is encoded in the Unicode Hangul Jamo block to support digital text representation and processing of the Korean language.
