U+AC5E "걞" Hangul Syllable Gyaelm Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+AC5E "걞" Hangul Syllable Gyaelm is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system representing the sound "gyaelm" which combines the initial consonant "ㄱ" (giyeok), the medial diphthong "ㅒ" (yae), and the final consonant "ㄻ" (rieul-mieut). This specific syllable is extremely rare or nonexistent in contemporary Korean vocabulary, existing primarily as a theoretical linguistic construct within the Unicode standard to represent every possible syllable combination in the Korean alphabet. As a result, it is almost never used in actual written Korean text and may only appear in specialized typographic or encoding contexts.
