U+ACB3 "겳" Hangul Syllable Gyeolb Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+ACB3 "겳" Hangul Syllable Gyeolb is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the phonetic sound "gyeolb" (a combination of the initial consonant "ㄱ" [g/k], the medial vowel "ㅕ" [yeo], and the final consonant "ㄹㅂ" [lb] cluster). It is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of initial, medial, and final jamo characters used to form syllabic blocks in Korean text. Although this specific syllable is validly formed according to the rules of Hangul orthography, it is not commonly used in standard modern Korean vocabulary, and its usage is largely limited to specialized or historical contexts where complex final consonant clusters are present.
