U+AD26 "괦" Hangul Syllable Gwaelp Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
괦
U+AD26 "괦" Hangul Syllable Gwaelp is a precomposed syllable within the Hangul (Korean script) block, representing the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the medial vowel "ㅙ" (wae), and the final consonant "ㄿ" (lp). This specific syllable, while phonetically valid, is extremely rare in modern Korean vocabulary and is primarily used for historical or technical transcription, as the consonant cluster "lp" (ㄿ) appears infrequently in contemporary spoken or written Korean. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that all possible Hangul syllable combinations, including those from older or dialectical forms, are preserved for digital text processing.
