껅
U+AEC5 "껅" Hangul Syllable Ggeolg is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul writing system, representing the sound "ggeolg."

This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes the thousands of possible syllable blocks in the Korean script as single codepoints for efficient text processing. As a relatively uncommon syllable, "껅" may appear in specialized or older Korean vocabulary but is not frequently used in everyday modern Korean language.
