U+AECE "껎" Hangul Syllable Ggeobs Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
껎
U+AECE "껎" Hangul Syllable Ggeobs is a precomposed syllable from the modern Hangul writing system used for the Korean language. It represents the sound "ggeobs" and is formed by combining the initial consonant “ㄲ” (a tense double “g” sound), the medial vowel “ㅓ” (eo), and the final consonant cluster “ㅄ” (bs), which together create a syllable that typically appears in Korean vocabulary, often in the context of words meaning "shell" or "husk." As part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, this character allows for efficient digital representation of Korean text without requiring separate encoding for each individual jamo component.
