U+ACA1 "겡" Hangul Syllable Geng Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
겡
U+ACA1 "겡" Hangul Syllable Geng is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the phonetic sound "geng." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the medial vowel "ㅔ" (e), and the final consonant "ㅇ" (ng), which together create a single, well-formed syllable block. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is used in written Korean to represent words or morphemes that include this specific sound, such as in the verb "겪다" (to experience), though it appears less frequently than more common syllables.
