U+AD7C "굼" Hangul Syllable Gum Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
굼
U+AD7C "굼" Hangul Syllable Gum is a precomposed syllable representing the Korean consonant "ㄱ" (g/k) combined with the vowel "ㅜ" (u) and the final consonant "ㅁ" (m), forming the sound "gum". As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it functions as a single code point that encodes the complete syllable as used in modern Korean writing, where it appears in words such as "굼뜨다" (gumtteuda, meaning sluggish) or "굼벵이" (gumbengi, meaning grub). This character exemplifies the systematic structure of Hangul, where individual jamo (letters) are combined into syllabic blocks, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent representation across digital platforms for Korean text.
