U+AECF "껏" Hangul Syllable Ggeos Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
껏
U+AECF "껏" Hangul Syllable Ggeos is a precomposed Hangul syllable representing the Korean sound "ggeos," which is formed by combining the initial consonant "ㄲ" (a tense double "g" or "kk"), the vowel "ㅓ" (eo), and the final consonant "ㅅ" (s). This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all possible combinations of initial consonants, vowels, and final consonants for the Korean writing system. In modern Korean, it is used in words like "꺾다" (to break or snap) and appears in various literary and everyday contexts. Its usage reflects the phonetic structure of Korean, where tense consonants alter the meaning and pronunciation of syllables.
