U+AD79 "굹" Hangul Syllable Gult Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
굹
U+AD79 "굹" Hangul Syllable Gult is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used for writing the Korean language, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the medial vowel "ㅜ" (u), and the final consonant "ㄹᇀ" (lt). This character represents a specific phonetic block that, while valid in the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, is not commonly encountered in standard modern Korean vocabulary, where simpler syllables like "굴" (gul) are far more frequent. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that all theoretically possible combinations of Korean jamo are encoded, maintaining consistency and completeness for text processing, historical documentation, or linguistic analysis involving archaic or dialectal forms.
