U+AE01 "긁" Hangul Syllable Geulg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
긁
U+AE01 "긁" Hangul Syllable Geulg is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "geulg" as a combination of the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the medial vowel "ㅡ" (eu), and the final consonant "ㄺ" (lg). This character is used in the Korean language primarily in verb stems or word forms, such as in the verb "긁다" (geukda), meaning "to scratch" or "to scrape," and it appears in everyday contexts related to physical actions like scratching a surface or scraping something off. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it allows for efficient text representation by encoding entire syllable blocks rather than requiring separate composition of individual jamo characters.
