U+AD78 "굸" Hangul Syllable Guls Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
굸
U+AD78 "굸" Hangul Syllable Guls is a specific precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul writing system of the Korean language, representing the phonetic sound "guls" (pronounced approximately as "gool-s"). It is formed from the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the medial vowel "ㅜ" (u), and the final consonant "ㄹㅅ" (ls), which combine to create a single syllable block. In modern standard Korean, this syllable is extremely rare and does not appear in common vocabulary, though it could theoretically be used in transliterations or archaic contexts. Its inclusion in Unicode as part of the Hangul Syllables block (AC00 D7AF) ensures consistent digital representation across platforms and devices.
