Unicode Version 17.0
껆
U+AEC6 "껆" Hangul Syllable Ggeolm is a precomposed syllable in the Hangul writing system, representing the Korean sound "ggeolm." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tense, double "g") with the medial vowel "ㅓ" (eo) and the final consonant cluster "ㄻ" (lm), which together create the syllabic block. This character belongs to the Hangul Syllables block (U+AC00 to U+D7AF) in Unicode, which encodes all possible legal combinations of Korean letters according to the modern orthographic rules of the Korean alphabet. As a specific syllable, it is used in written Korean to convey lexical meaning, though it appears relatively infrequently compared to more common syllables.
