U+AD4F "굏" Hangul Syllable Goeh Unicode Character
U+AD4F "굏" Hangul Syllable Goeh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system, representing the sound "Goeh" as a combination of the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g/k), the medial vowel "ㅚ" (oe), and the final consonant "ㅎ" (h). It is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of initial consonants, medial vowels, and final consonants in the Korean alphabet. In practice, this syllable is rarely used in contemporary Korean vocabulary, as the sound "Goeh" with a final ㅎ occurs infrequently in standard words, but it functions as a valid phonetic building block for transliteration, linguistic study, or in specialized or archaic contexts. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that any possible Korean syllable can be represented digitally without needing to combine individual jamo characters dynamically.
