U+AE5D "깝" Hangul Syllable Ggab Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
깝
U+AE5D "깝" Hangul Syllable Ggab is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the sound "ggab" and formed from the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssanggiyeok), the vowel "ㅏ" (a), and the final consonant "ㅂ" (bieup). It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean letters in a single code point rather than as sequences of jamo characters. While not among the most frequently used syllables in modern Korean, "깝" appears in vocabulary such as the noun "깝깝이" (an onomatopoeic term for quick, repeated pecking or poking) and can also function as a less common example of the syllable's structural role in the Korean writing system.
