Unicode Version 17.0
곯
U+ACEF "곯" Hangul Syllable Golh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, formed from the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the medial vowel "ㅗ" (o), and the final consonant cluster "ㄹㅎ" (lh), which collectively produce the sound "golh." This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, where thousands of such syllable blocks are encoded to represent the combinatory nature of Korean script. Like all Hangul syllables, "곯" occupies a single character slot for efficient digital text processing, though its usage in contemporary Korean is rare or limited to specific linguistic contexts, such as dialectal or archaic vocabulary.
