U+ACBE "겾" Hangul Syllable Gyeoj Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+ACBE "겾" Hangul Syllable Gyeoj is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system Hangul, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "g" (ㄱ), the medial vowel "yeo" (ㅕ), and the final consonant "j" (ㅈ). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character is encoded as a single code point for simpler text processing and rendering, rather than being constructed from separate jamo components. While it follows standard Korean orthographic rules, the syllable "겾" is extremely rare in modern Korean vocabulary and appears primarily in specialized or historical linguistic contexts, as the final consonant cluster "-yeoj" does not commonly occur in everyday words. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures completeness for representing all theoretically possible combinations of Korean syllabic blocks.
