Unicode Version 17.0

U+AEC2 "껂" Hangul Syllable Ggeonh is a precomposed Korean syllable representing the sound "ggeonh" (pronounced approximately like "ggyuhn" with a tense initial consonant). It is formed from the initial consonant ᄁ (a double, tense "g" or "kk" sound), the vowel ㅓ ("eo"), and the final consonant ᄒ ("h"), rendered as a single, self-contained block in the modern Hangul writing system. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block (AC00-D7AF) in Unicode, which encodes the full repertoire of complete Korean syllable blocks for text processing and digital display. As with all precomposed Hangul syllables, U+AEC2 serves to represent a specific, indivisible unit of the Korean language.
