Unicode Version 17.0
겕
U+AC95 "겕" Hangul Syllable Gelg is a precomposed syllable representing the Korean sound "gelg," formed by combining the initial consonant ᄀ (giyeok), the medial vowel ᅦ (e), and the final consonant ᆴ (rieul-giyeok). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in the Unicode standard, it allows for efficient digital representation of modern and historic Korean text without needing to dynamically assemble syllables from individual jamo characters. The character can be used to write certain Korean words or transliterations, though it is less common than syllables with more frequent phoneme combinations.
