U+AC99 "겙" Hangul Syllable Gelt Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
겙
U+AC99 "겙" Hangul Syllable Gelt is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system, representing the Korean sound "gelt." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the vowel "ㅔ" (e), and the final consonant "ㄹㅌ" (lt), though this specific cluster is extremely rare in standard Korean vocabulary and is primarily included in the Unicode standard for historical or technical completeness. As part of the Hangul Syllables block, it allows for consistent digital representation and rendering of Korean text, even for infrequently used syllables that may not appear in everyday language.
