U+AE55 "깕" Hangul Syllable Ggalg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
깕
U+AE55 "깕" Hangul Syllable Ggalg is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul script used for writing the Korean language. It represents the phonetic combination of the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tense, doubled version of the basic "g" or "k" sound), the vowel "ㅏ" (the short "a" sound), and the final consonant "ㄺ" (a complex coda pronounced as a single "lg" or "lk" sound, depending on context). This syllable is a specific, legitimate unit within the Korean writing system, though it is relatively rare and does not typically form a common word on its own; it is most frequently encountered as part of a longer compound word or in specific verbal or adjectival conjugations.
