Unicode Version 17.0
꺹
U+AEB9 "꺹" Hangul Syllable Ggyaet is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul script, representing the sound "ggyaet" as a combination of the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tensed "gg") and the medial vowel "ㅒ" (the diphthong "yae"), followed by the final consonant "ㅌ" (a "t" sound). It belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in the Unicode standard, which encodes all possible modern and historical syllable blocks for the Korean writing system. This specific character is used in written Korean to form words or syllables that require the tense pronunciation of the initial consonant along with the "yae" vowel, though it is relatively rare in everyday modern Korean vocabulary, appearing more frequently in specialized or historical contexts.
