U+AC81 "겁" Hangul Syllable Geob Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
겁
U+AC81 "겁" Hangul Syllable Geob is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul alphabet, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g/k), the medial vowel "ㅓ" (eo), and the final consonant "ㅂ" (b/p), which together sound as "geop" or "geob" depending on syllable-final phonology. In Korean, this syllable carries significant meaning as it is the root of words like "겁" (geop) meaning "fear" or "fright," and appears in common vocabulary such as "겁쟁이" (geopjaengi) for "coward" or "겁나다" (geomnada) for "to be scared." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which was designed to encode all possible precomposed Hangul syllables to facilitate easier processing of Korean text in digital environments.
