U+AE6D "깭" Hangul Syllable Ggaenj Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
깭
U+AE6D "깭" Hangul Syllable Ggaenj is a precomposed syllable in the modern Hangul script, used for writing the Korean language. It consists of the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tensed "G" sound, known as ssanggiyeok), the medial vowel "ㅐ" (the short "ae" sound), and the final consonant "ㄵ" (the "nj" sound, a compound of "n" and "j"). This syllable is less common in everyday modern Korean vocabulary but can appear in certain native words, transcriptions, or historical contexts. As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, it encodes this specific combination as a single character rather than a sequence of jamo components, facilitating efficient text processing and display.
