U+AEAF "꺯" Hangul Syllable Ggyaelh Unicode Character
U+AEAF "꺯" Hangul Syllable Ggyaelh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "ggyaelh" which combines the initial consonant "gg" (a tense, double letter equivalent of "g"), the medial vowel "yae" (a combination of the semivowel "y" and the vowel "ae"), and the final consonant "lh" (a double consonant cluster of "l" and "h").
