Unicode Version 17.0
껍
U+AECD "껍" Hangul Syllable Ggeob is a precomposed syllable from the modern Korean Hangul script, representing the sound “ggeob” as pronounced in the Korean language. It is formed by combining the initial consonant “ㄲ” (ssang-giyeok), the medial vowel “ㅓ” (eo), and the final consonant “ㅂ” (bieup), which together create a single typographic unit. This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible syllable blocks that can be formed from the Korean alphabet according to the standard modern orthography. In practical use, “껍” is commonly seen in Korean words such as “껍질” (ggeopjil), meaning “peel” or “shell,” and is essential for accurate digital text representation in Korean writing.
