U+AC0F "갏" Hangul Syllable Galh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+AC0F "갏" Hangul Syllable Galh is a precomposed syllabic character within the Hangul Syllables block used for writing the Korean language. It represents the sound "galh" and is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the vowel "ㅏ" (a), and the final consonant cluster "ㄹㅎ" (lh). This character sequences these three jamo components into a single, unified grapheme, which is a common structural feature for representing the syllabic blocks of Hangul in digital text encoding. As a specific and less frequently used syllable, it contributes to the comprehensive coverage of all theoretically possible syllable combinations within the modern Korean writing system.
