U+AEBC "꺼" Hangul Syllable Ggeo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꺼
U+AEBC "꺼" Hangul Syllable Ggeo is a precomposed syllable representing the Korean sound "ggeo," formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄱ" (g) with the vowel "ㅓ" (eo) and the fortis or tensed pronunciation indicated by its doubled consonant appearance. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllabic combinations of the Korean writing system, and is used in modern Korean text to write words such as "꺼내다" (to take out). It reflects the phonetic and structural rules of Hangul, where syllable blocks are systematically built from individual jamo characters, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent representation across digital platforms.
