Unicode Version 17.0
깜
U+AE5C "깜" Hangul Syllable Ggam is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the sound "ggam" as a single character. It is formed from the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tensed or double "g" sound) and the medial vowel "ㅏ" (the "ah" sound), combined with the final consonant "ㅁ" (the "m" sound). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean letters as atomic units for efficient text processing and display. In Korean, "깜" can appear in words like "깜빡" meaning a blink or a flash, and it is used in everyday writing to convey a closed, sharp pronunciation typical of the tensed consonant series.
