U+AEC8 "껈" Hangul Syllable Ggeols Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
껈
U+AEC8 "껈" Hangul Syllable Ggeols is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the phonetic sound "ggeols." It is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (ssanggiyeok, a tensed double consonant) with the vowel "ㅓ" (eo) and the final consonant cluster "ㄹㅅ" (rieul and siot, or a complex final). This syllable belongs to the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of Korean letters in a single codepoint for efficient text processing. While it is a valid and standard character in Korean typography, it is relatively rare in everyday language due to the specific consonant cluster and tensed initial.
