U+11ED "ᇭ" Hangul Jongseong Ieung-Ssangkiyeok Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+11ED "ᇭ" Hangul Jongseong Ieung-Ssangkiyeok is a historical or obsolete Hangul syllable-final consonant cluster used in representing the Middle Korean phonology, where it combines the sound of the 'ieung' (a null or glottal consonant in initial position but a velar nasal in final position) with a doubled 'kiyeok' (the 'g/k' sound) to denote a final consonant cluster that is no longer standard in modern Korean orthography. This character occupies a niche in the Unicode Hangul Jamo block, serving primarily for linguistic reconstruction, academic study of ancient texts, and digital preservation of pre-modern Korean writing systems. Its usage today is rare but essential for accurately transcribing Classical Korean literature and historical documents where such complex coda structures occurred.
