U+AC21 "갡" Hangul Syllable Gaenj Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
갡
U+AC21 "갡" Hangul Syllable Gaenj is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the medial vowel "ㅐ" (ae), and the final consonant "ㄵ" (nj). Formed by the logical unification of these three jamo elements within the Korean Unicode block, it is used in written Korean to convey the sound "gaenj" that occurs in certain native vocabulary or loanword contexts, though it is relatively uncommon in everyday modern usage compared to more frequent syllables like "가" (ga) or "개" (gae). The character is rendered as a single glyph in supported fonts, reflecting the compact square-shaped layout typical of Hangul syllables.
