Unicode Version 17.0
귯
U+ADEF "귯" Hangul Syllable Gyus is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the Korean sound "gyut" formed by the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the vowel "ㅠ" (yu), and the final consonant "ㅅ" (s). It is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes complete syllabic blocks used in modern and historical Korean writing, and it is typically rendered in contexts requiring precise phonetic representation, such as in digital text processing or linguistic documentation. While not a common word in standard Korean vocabulary, it could theoretically appear in archaic or specialized linguistic usage, as the language permits such combinations through its phonetic system.
