U+AD37 "괷" Hangul Syllable Goegs Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
괷
U+AD37 "괷" Hangul Syllable Goegs is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic sound "goegs" by combining the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the medial vowel "ㅚ" (oe), and the final consonant "ㄳ" (gs). This syllable is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which was designed to encode all possible syllabic combinations of the Korean alphabet to facilitate digital text processing and display. While "괷" is a valid and formally defined syllable, it is extremely rare in actual Korean vocabulary and appears primarily in specialized linguistic contexts or historical texts, as the final consonant cluster "ㄳ" is uncommon in contemporary standard Korean.
