U+AE85 "꺅" Hangul Syllable Ggyag Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꺅
U+AE85 "꺅" Hangul Syllable Ggyag is a precomposed syllable in the Korean Hangul writing system, formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssanggiyeok, representing a tense, fortis "kk" sound) with the vowel "ㅑ" (ya) and the final consonant "ㄱ" (giyeok, a velar stop). As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character represents a distinct phonetic unit used in the Korean language, where it appears in words such as "꺅꺅" (ggyakggyak), an onomatopoeic term for a sharp, cracking sound. Its inclusion in the standard allows for accurate digital representation and text processing of Korean, supporting both modern and traditional usage of the script.
