U+AE46 "깆" Hangul Syllable Gij Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+AE46 "깆" Hangul Syllable Gij is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "gij" (기ᇫ). It is formed by combining the initial consonant "기역" (giyeok, ㄱ) with the vowel "이" (i, ㅣ) and the final consonant "지읒" (jieut, ㅈ), though in modern Korean orthography, this syllable is not commonly used in standard vocabulary. As part of the Hangul Syllables block, it was encoded in Unicode 2.0 in 1996 to support the full range of theoretically possible syllable combinations in Korean writing, ensuring comprehensive text representation for historical or linguistic purposes.
