U+AE23 "긣" Hangul Syllable Gyilh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
긣
U+AE23 "긣" Hangul Syllable Gyilh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "gyilh" as a combination of the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g), the medial diphthong "ㅢ" (ui), and the final consonant "ㄹ" (l). This particular syllable is extremely rare in contemporary Korean vocabulary, as the complex medial vowel "ㅢ" is generally pronounced as a simple "ㅣ" (i) in most positions, and the final "ㄹ" creates an uncommon coda. While it may appear in older or specialized linguistic texts, it is not a word used in everyday Korean language, and its primary function is to demonstrate the full combinatorial potential of the Hangul script within the Unicode standard.
