U+ADDC "규" Hangul Syllable Gyu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
규
U+ADDC "규" Hangul Syllable Gyu is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "gyu." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄱ" (giyeok), the medial vowel "ㅠ" (yu), and an implied final consonant or lack thereof, resulting in a single, distinct character block. This syllable is used in standard Korean vocabulary, appearing in words such as "규칙" (gyuchik, meaning rule or regulation) and "규모" (gyumo, meaning scale or scope). As part of the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, it was encoded to facilitate digital text processing for the Korean language, allowing for efficient representation of syllabic units rather than relying solely on separate jamo components.
