Unicode Version 17.0

U+AC72 "걲" Hangul Syllable Geogg is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic compound "Geogg." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄱ" (giyeok), the vowel "ㅓ" (eo), and the final double consonant "ㄲ" (ssanggiyeok), which together produce a tense, glottalized stop at the end of the syllable. This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block of Unicode, which encodes complete syllabic units to facilitate efficient text processing and display in digital environments. While not a word in common usage, "걲" demonstrates the structural depth of Hangul orthography, where consonant tensing and final cluster variations expand the script's phonological representation.
